Scientists May Have Been Wrong About 'Doomsday Glacier'
Story by Tom Howarth • 1d
A recent study has challenged some of the most alarming predictions about Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, dubbed the "Doomsday Glacier," owing to the seismic impacts it could have on the world's oceans.
The research suggested that a catastrophic collapse of the glacier, which could lead to rapid and dramatic sea-level rise, is less likely to occur this century than previously thought.
The Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica has been a major focus for climate scientists due to its unstable nature and significant contribution to global sea-level rise.
Currently, it accounts for about 4 percent of the annual increase in sea levels and holds enough ice to raise them by over two feet if it fully melts, according to the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC).
