Glacial earthquakes are a special type of earthquake generated in cold, icy regions. First discovered in the Northern ...

Earthquakes recorded under the Thwaites Glacier reveal processes of fracturing and sliding of the ice over the Antarctic bedrock.

Scientists using ice-breaking ships and underwater robots have found the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is melting at an accelerating rate and could be on an irreversible path to collapse, spelling ...

Swirling underwater eddies are aggressively melting two Antarctic glaciers, a recent study found, including the one that could raise sea levels by multiple feet.

The calving front of Thwaites' ice shelf. The blue area is light reflecting off ice below the water. James Yungel/NASA Icebridge Thwaites Glacier drains a huge area of Antarctica’s ice sheet – about ...

At the edge of Antarctica, one of the planet’s most fragile ice giants is splintering so violently that it is sending out its ...

Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier is much more exposed to warm ocean water than scientists previously believed, according to a new study. Dubbed the “Doomsday Glacier” by scientists because its collapse ...

The Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is seen in this undated image from NASA. Areas of the glacier may be undergoing "vigorous melting" from warm ocean water caused by climate change, researchers say.

Antartica's Thwaites Glacier is also known as the "Doomsday Glacier" because it could greatly contribute to sea level rise if it collapses. And new evidence suggests that's exactly what's happening.

SAN FRANCISCO — Most of the news regarding the Thwaites Glacier, a Florida-sized slab of ice that is melting and currently contributing about 4 percent of global sea level rise, is bad. But a bit of ...

There is a reason Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier is often referred to by its supervillain moniker. ‘Doomsday Glacier’ better sums up the consequences should the Florida-size slab of ice collapse due to ...

Antarctica's unstable “Doomsday Glacier,” an ice mass the size of Florida, is melting, but researchers have discovered a new problem: Deep cracks on the glacier's underside are accelerating its ...
