Seawater undermines Thwaites glacier: sea level rise forecast doubled
A new scientific model shows that ocean water is penetrating beneath the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica, which may accelerate its melting. According to these estimates, the glacier's contribution to sea level rise could be twice as large as previously assumed. Thwaites is sometimes called the "doomsday glacier" because of the potentially catastrophic consequences of its collapse for coastlines around the world.
