Antarctica, Doomsday Glacier
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.
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."
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.
The ‘Doomsday’ Glacier Is Set to Melt Faster. That’s Not Good
Tidal action pumping warmer sea water on the underside of the massive Thwaites Glacier will “inexorably” accelerate its melting this century, which could lead to the collapse of the entire West Antarctic ice sheet and seriously impact global sea levels,
Much of Antarctic glacier could be gone faster than expected, experts warn
A massive ice sheet in Antarctica - equal to the size of Great Britain - could be all but lost by the 23rd century, experts warn.The Thwaites Glacier is one of the largest and fastest-moving in the world.
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
'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.
