Antarctica, Doomsday Glacier
Much of Thwaites Glacier - Antarctica's largest - could be gone by 23rd century, experts warn
If the Thwaites Glacier melted entirely, experts said it would raise sea levels by 3.3 metres, enough to put Westminster, Battersea and Canary Wharf underwater.
Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier may vanish by 23rd century, experts warn
A vast ice sheet in Antarctica, comparable in size to Great Britain, may nearly vanish by the 23rd century, according to experts. The Thwaites Glacier, one of the globe’s largest and most rapidly moving glaciers, along with the Amundsen Sea Embayment, contributes 8% to the current global sea level rise, which is 4.6mm annually.
Antarctica's 'Doomsday Glacier' Melting Rapidly; Can It Collapse In 200 Years? | Scientists Concerned
Coming up with the clearest picture of the transitioning Thwaites glacier in Antarctica, scientists in the latest report said the situation is "grim", as they found the glacial retreat has accelerated considerably over the past 30 years and rapid ice loss is expected to speed up this century.
Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" is set to retreat "further and faster," scientists warn
Scientists from the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration warn of a "grim outlook" for the Thwaites Glacier, also known as the "Doomsday Glacier."
Antarctica’s 'doomsday' glacier is heading for catastrophic collapse
As a six-year investigation into the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica wraps up, the scientists involved are pessimistic for the future of this glacier and the consequences for sea level rise
Antarctica’s ‘Doomsday Glacier’ Could Be Gone by 23rd Century
After years of research, scientists studying the massive Thwaites Glacier have found little reason for optimism.
Scientists looked deep beneath the Doomsday Glacier. What they found spells potential disaster for the planet
Scientists using ice-breaking ships and underwater robots have found the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is melting at an accelerating rate and could be on an irreversible path to collapse, spelling catastrophe for global sea level rise.
'Doomsday glacier' on brink of collapse could sink parts of Planet Earth
A new science briefing has revealed there is a "grim outlook" for Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, also known as the 'Doomsday Glacier', which if it melts could plunge parts of the world underwater. Thwaites Glacier is a vast area of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and is the same size as Great Britain or the US state of Florida.
‘Doomsday’ glacier set to melt faster
New research by British and American scientists indicates that tidal action under the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica will accelerate melting this century. This could destabilize the West Antarctic Ice Sheet,
Antarctica's 'Doomsday Glacier' is on verge of COLLAPSING, study warns
Researchers from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) used underwater robots to take new measurements of the glacier, which is the same size as Great Britain.
