Thwaites Glacier study doubles sea level rise estimate

Original: glaciar thwaites

A new model of the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica, tested against 27 years of satellite data, projects the glacier could contribute roughly 1.2 inches to global sea levels by 2100 — about double earlier estimates. The findings are drawing attention because Thwaites is considered one of the most unstable glaciers in the world, and its potential collapse could drive far larger long-term sea level rise.

Why now: New research suggests the glacier's contribution to sea level rise by 2100 may be twice as large as previously thought, raising concerns about climate impacts.
