Learn about the new technique being used to study cracks that have formed on Antarctica's unstable Doomsday Glacier.

A total collapse of the roughly 80-mile-wide Thwaites Glacier, the widest in the world, would trigger changes that could lead ...

Scientists aren’t too optimistic and have said there’s a 'grim outlook' if the glacier melts, plunging parts of the world ...

Scientists do not like the way the Thwaites Glacier, also sometimes known as 'doomsday', is going as many countries are at risk if it collapses ...

New research from the Chilean Patagonia has identified a link between glacial retreat and underground volcanic activity ...

Like Davis, Schmidt said that the findings provided important context for what is happening at the Thwaites glacier. “It’s not ‘warm water equals X amount of melting,'” she said.

At 80 miles across, Thwaites is the world's widest glacier. It has been nicknamed the "Doomsday Glacier" for the catastrophic effects its thawing could have on global sea-level rise.

The Thwaites Glacier is roughly the size of Florida and is located in West Antarctica. Part of what holds it in place is an ice shelf that juts out onto the surface of the ocean.

The Thwaites Glacier, capable of raising sea level by several feet, is eroding along its underwater base as the planet warms. In a study published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience, ...

The Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica is eroding back from the ocean and flowing faster with each year, threatening to retreat and collapse within decades to a few centuries. If it does, it will ...

Antarctica's Thwaites glacier, nicknamed "Doomsday Glacier," isn't melting as fast as feared – but deep fractures in ice are taking the heaviest toll.

Deploying an underwater robot beneath a rapidly melting ice shelf in Antarctica, scientists have uncovered new clues about how it is melting. The findings will help assess the threat it and other ...
