The first-ever images have been taken of the grounding zone of Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica. The grounding line just behind it is an integral factor in the glacier's stability or lack thereof.

This in turn will further accelerate thinning of the glacier and grounding line retreat." British and American scientists have had to temporarily suspend their investigations at Thwaites because ...

"So on Thwaites Glacier, the increase in ice speed has coincided with a period of rapid ice thinning, and grounding line retreat, which suggests that the observed changes may have been caused by ...

The researchers made a surprising discovery regarding the grounding line, which was anticipated to be an abrupt transition. Instead, they found that Thwaites Glacier possesses a tidally controlled ...

The presence of warm water in the grounding line may support estimates at the faster range. That is significant because the Thwaites, along with the Pine Island Glacier and a number of smaller ...

The Thwaites Glacier — roughly the size of Florida at a staggering 74,000 square miles — extends to a depth of about 2,600 to 3,900 feet at its grounding line.

Screen shot of a 3D view of the tidal motion of Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica recorded ... equivalent to a 1.65 cm displacement in line-of-sight distance of the ice surface.

The Thwaites Glacier is one of a line of glaciers sitting along the marine-facing rim of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS)—a massive bowl of ice nearly three times the size of Texas sitting in ...

The melting of the Thwaites Glacier — which is around the size of Florida — could raise sea levels by up to two feet. It's that, and the fact that it acts as a buffer between warming seas and ...

Thwaites Glacier, famously dubbed the Doomsday Glacier, situated in Antarctica, has witnessed a staggering depletion of over 50 billion tons of ice, intensifying concerns over global sea level ...

The Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is called the "Doomsday Glacier" for a reason. Larger than the state of Florida, the icy mass contains so much water that scientists predict that its melting could ...
