The glacier acts as a barricade for the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, a region that sits in a basin below sea level in Western ...

Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica has been called the 'Doomsday Glacier' due to the catastrophic impact it could have on the ...

The losses measured from calving outpaced natural ice shelf replenishment so greatly that researchers found it unlikely Antarctica can return to pre-2000 glacier levels by the end of this century.

Antarctica's Thwaites glacier, nicknamed "Doomsday Glacier," isn't melting as fast as feared – but deep fractures in ice are taking the heaviest toll.

Antarctica’s “Doomsday Glacier” – nicknamed because its collapse could drive catastrophic sea level rise – is melting rapidly in unexpected ways, according to new research.

Antarctica’s coastal glaciers are shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice, doubling previous estimates of losses from the world’s largest ice sheet over the ...

A gap in geologic history The Andersons’ new model of rock glacier formation led to a second insight — one about the past. According to the study, the rock glaciers we see in the Colorado Rockies ...
