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 ...
