NASA Study Refines Projections for Thwaites Glacier
Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier could contribute more to sea level rise by the end of the century than some previous estimates. In some model simulations, the glacier’s contribution was as much as twice current projections.
Jim Thwaites Hits Impressive Milestone As Academy Continues To Shine
Midfield technician Jim Thwaites continues his rapid ascent, showcasing elite set-piece mastery and tactical poise to earn international honors while catching the eye of first-team coaching staff.
We've Lost 12 Trillion Tons of Ice From Earth's Major Ice Sheets in Just 47 Years, Satellites Reveal
With no sign of stopping.
Hundreds of hidden earthquakes found at Antarctica’s Doomsday Glacier
Hundreds of previously overlooked seismic events have been detected beneath Antarctica, including 245 near the marine edge of the Thwaites Glacier. Many appear to be glacial earthquakes caused when huge icebergs break off, capsize, and collide with the glacier. The surge in activity coincided with a period when Thwaites was flowing faster toward the ocean, hinting that changing ocean conditions may be destabilizing the ice.
The 'Doomsday Glacier' is poised to lose its ice shelf this year. An Antarctic researcher explains what that means for global sea levels
Researchers have warned that the Thwaites Glacier, one of the largest glaciers in the world, is about to lose its eastern ice shelf. We spoke to marine geophysicist Robert Larter about what this means for the "Doomsday Glacier."
Montana State researcher featured in New York Times science story
Fractured ice of Thwaites Glacier could help scientists understand the frozen sub-surface environment on Jupiter’s moon Europa.
Scientists Set Up Camp on Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica
Low clouds have lifted long enough for helicopters to ferry scientists and their gear to a fast-melting glacier on the edge of Antarctica.
Satellites spot rapid “Doomsday Glacier” collapse
Two decades of satellite and GPS data show the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf slowly losing its grip on a crucial stabilizing point as fractures multiply and ice speeds up. Scientists warn this pattern could spread to other vulnerable Antarctic shelves.
