Learn about the new technique being used to study cracks that have formed on Antarctica's unstable Doomsday Glacier.
Scientists aren’t too optimistic and have said there’s a 'grim outlook' if the glacier melts, plunging parts of the world ...
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.
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 ...
Antarctica’s “Doomsday Glacier” – nicknamed because its collapse could drive catastrophic sea level rise – is melting rapidly in unexpected ways, according to new research.
A total collapse of the roughly 80-mile-wide Thwaites Glacier, the widest in the world, would trigger changes that could lead ...
The Thwaites “doomsday” glacier is eroding along its underwater base. Scientists now say it has the capability of retreating much faster than it has in the past decade.
Antarctica's Thwaites glacier, nicknamed "Doomsday Glacier," isn't melting as fast as feared – but deep fractures in ice are taking the heaviest toll.
And every volcanic eruption releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, triggering a gnarly environmental feedback loop.
What happens if the Doomsday Glacier melts? As it melts, Thwaites could cause ocean levels to rise as much as 2 feet, researchers say. But the glacier is also a natural dam to other ice in West ...
Researchers have estimated the Antarctic “Doomsday Glacier”—which has been predicted to cause a devastating rise in global sea levels if it collapses—isn’t melting as quickly as ...
