Underwater “storms” are melting the ice shelf protecting the Thwaites “doomsday” glacier in Antarctica, raising concerns that we could be underestimating future sea level rise. Up to 10 kilometres ...

Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica—often called the "Doomsday Glacier"—is one of the fastest-changing ice–ocean systems on Earth, and its future remains a major uncertainty in global sea-level rise ...

Calving is modeled as the joining of fracture networks when crevasses and other cracks in the ice intersect. While surface cracks can be minimally joined in 2D with standard flow algorithms (the ...

A new study has revealed that the Greenland ice sheet is melting at an increasingly faster rate due to huge underwater waves that churn up warm seawater. A GreenFjord project research team unveiled ...

Ocean tides can trigger city-sized icebergs to break off from Antarctic ice shelves, scientists said on Thursday, offering a potential way to predict these dramatic events in the future. It is not ...
