Beneath Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, hundreds of undetected earthquakes have rumbled for over a decade, signaling the capsizing of massive icebergs and accelerating ice loss into the ocean. This ...

Thwaites, the most studied glacier in the world, commands attention because it is not only the widest in the world at 80 miles but also the shakiest. And ...

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 ...

In a new study soon to be published in Geophysical Research Letters, I present evidence for hundreds of these quakes in ...

The calving front of Thwaites' ice shelf. The blue area is light reflecting off ice below the water. James Yungel/NASA Icebridge Thwaites Glacier drains a huge area of Antarctica’s ice sheet – about ...

Earthquakes recorded under the Thwaites Glacier reveal processes of fracturing and sliding of the ice over the Antarctic bedrock.

Swirling underwater eddies are aggressively melting two Antarctic glaciers, a recent study found, including the one that could raise sea levels by multiple feet.

Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier is much more exposed to warm ocean water than scientists previously believed, according to a new study. Dubbed the “Doomsday Glacier” by scientists because its collapse ...

The Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is seen in this undated image from NASA. Areas of the glacier may be undergoing "vigorous melting" from warm ocean water caused by climate change, researchers say.

SAN FRANCISCO — Most of the news regarding the Thwaites Glacier, a Florida-sized slab of ice that is melting and currently contributing about 4 percent of global sea level rise, is bad. But a bit of ...

There is a reason Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier is often referred to by its supervillain moniker. ‘Doomsday Glacier’ better sums up the consequences should the Florida-size slab of ice collapse due to ...

Antarctica's unstable “Doomsday Glacier,” an ice mass the size of Florida, is melting, but researchers have discovered a new problem: Deep cracks on the glacier's underside are accelerating its ...
