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 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...
