Antarctica's 'Doomsday Glacier' Is Heading For Collapse Sooner Than Expected
The scientists predict that Thwaites Glacier and the Antarctic Ice Sheet could collapse within the next 200 years.

Antarctica’s Doomsday Glacier Is Headed for Collapse, Could Rise Global Sea Level Significantly: Study
Recent research on the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica shows alarming rates of melting that could significantly impact global sea levels. Scientists from the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, including Rob Larter and Kiya Riverman, discovered that Thwaites’ retreat may lead to a rise of up to 10 feet in sea levels, threatening coastal ...

Scientists Find When And Why Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" Began Melting
Scientists have reconstructed the past life of Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" and discovered how it started retreating rapidly in the 1940s.

Watch: Close-Up View Of Snow Melting Under Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier"
According to geologists, if the glacier melts, the world's sea level might rise by 25 inches in the coming years.

Antarctica's 'Doomsday Glacier' In Trouble As Warm Water Melts Weak Spots
Scientists studying Antarctica's vast Thwaites Glacier - nicknamed the Doomsday Glacier - say warm water is seeping into its weak spots, worsening melting caused by rising temperatures, two papers published in Nature journal showed on Wednesday.

Warm Water Melts Weak Spots On Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier": Report
Scientists studying Antarctica's vast Thwaites Glacier - nicknamed the Doomsday Glacier - say warm water is seeping into its weak spots, worsening melting caused by rising temperatures, two papers published in Nature journal showed today.

Scientists Discover Huge River Hidden Under Antarctica
Glaciologists say that the river has the potential to substantially affect the way the glacial ice above it flow and melts.

Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" On Edge Of Disaster, Says Study. Here's What Will Happen If It Disintegrates
The scary new study has alerted us about the rapid disintegration of one of the biggest glaciers in the world.

Thousands Of Earthquakes Recorded In Antarctic As Ice Cracks
Scientists have recorded thousands of 'ice quakes' in Antarctica at night, a phenomenon that may help track glacier melting and explain the breaking of large ice shelves.

UK, US Study Antarctic Glacier, Hoping To Crack Sea Level Risks
Britain and the United States launched a $25 million project on Monday to study the risks of a collapse of a giant glacier in Antarctica that is already shrinking and nudging up global sea levels.

Antarctica: A Laboratory For Climate Change
A decade ago, a thick layer of ice covered the Collins Glacier on Antarctica's King George Island.

Photographer James Balog Captures World's Glacier Melt Over Decade
For the last decade, American photographer James Balog has been on a mission to document climate change through his camera lens. His effort has taken him to the farthest reaches of the world, from Antarctica to the northern ends of Greenland, where he has captured the movements and melts of immense glaciers.

NASA Took On An Unprecedented Study Of Greenland's Melting. Now, The Data Are Coming In.
Back in 2015, in a moment of science communication genius, NASA created a mission called "OMG." The acronym basically ensured that a new scientific mission - measuring how quickly the Oceans are Melting Greenland - would get maximum press attention.

Antarctica's Ice Is Being Carved Up From Below
Two years ago, a pair of scientific studies documented that the glaciers of West Antarctica, which hold back more than 3 meters (nearly 10 feet) of potential sea level rise, are melting and retreating from below. The cause? It appears that these glaciers, which are perched on the seafloor deep below the ocean surface, are being lapped at by flows o...

Scientists May Have Just Solved One of The Most Troubling Mysteries About Sea-Level Rise
Scientists have announced a potential solution to a tantalizing puzzle about sea-level rise that's remained unsolved for more than a decade. In doing so, they've helped confirm scientists' latest estimates of 20th-century glacial melting and our understanding of how sea-level rise fundamentally affects the planet - down to the way it spins on its a...
