Peter Davis of the British Antarctic survey on changes in the Thwaites Glacier

Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 2020
On the Thwaites Glacier on Antarctica’s western shelf, researchers are going all-out to learn what is happening deep under the surface of the ice, out of sight: How much is melting from below, wher...

Retreat of Thwaites Glacier Triggered by its Neighbours

open access: yes
The Amundsen Sea Embayment in West Antarctica is experiencing the most rapid mass loss and grounding line retreat in Antarctica. Its glaciers are vulnerable to retreat through marine ice sheet instability. There is uncertainty over the timing and magnitude of retreat and in particular the response of Thwaites Glacier to thinning of its ice shelf and to

The Future of Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica.

2023
We use numerical modelling to address several questions related to the future evolution of Thwaites Glacier over the next 50 years. The importance of Thwaites Ice Shelf for upstream grounded flow is investigated by quantifying the buttressing stresses along the grounding line. Removing the ice shelf changes the stress regime along the grounding line by

Calving Dynamics and the Potential Impact of Mélange Buttressing at the Western Calving Front of Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research F: Earth Surface
The western region of the wide Thwaites Glacier terminus is characterized by a near-vertical calving front. The grounding line at this western calving front (WCF) rests on a relatively high ridge, behind which exists a reverse-sloping bed; retreat of the

First airborne gravity results over the Thwaites Glacier catchment, West Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2008
Recent satellite observations of Thwaites Glacier in the Amundsen Sea Embayment, West Antarctica, have shown that the glacier is changing rapidly. The causes of its dynamic behavior are uncertain but are of concern because this glacier has the most ...
