Ocean Water Seeping Under Thwaites 'Doomsday Glacier' Doubles Sea-Level Threat
Original: Ocean Water Is Seeping Under the Doomsday Glacier—and Its Sea-Level Threat Just Doubled A new model suggests the Thwaite
A new model suggests ocean water is seeping beneath the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, and that the glacier could contribute roughly twice as much to sea-level rise as previously estimated. Known as the Doomsday Glacier, Thwaites is considered one of the most vulnerable ice masses on Earth, and the finding raises concerns about faster coastal flooding worldwide.
Why now: Fresh research indicates the glacier's projected impact on sea levels has doubled, alarming climate scientists and coastal communities.
