Climate change: Antarctica's 'doomsday glacier' in greater peril than previously expected: What the latest findings mean


Updated Apr 12, 2021 | 13:24 IST
With the help of an uncrewed submersible vehicle known as Ran, researchers were able to measure the strength, salinity, temperature, and oxygen content of ocean currents underneath the Thwaites glacier.

Key Highlights
While the ice sheet, reportedly, contributes around ten per cent of the overall rate of sea-level rise, it also has the greatest potential to increase the rate of sea-level rise due to the constant and rapid changes taking place under Thwaites
The data collected from RAN mapping ocean currents underneath the glacier enabled researchers to determine a deep connection to the east where water flows from Pine Island Bay ....

'Melting Thwaites' raises global concern along with sea level


Highlights
Thwaites Glacier is 120 km wide and its melting constitutes approximately 4% of the total global sea-level rise every year.
Researchers at the Sweden’s University of Gothenburg are now saying that fears related to Thwaites’s melting are worse than previously thought.
Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier – also called the “Doomsday Glacier” is a matter of grave concern due to its enormous potential to raise the sea level which will be caused by its melting due to the warm water underneath which was overlooked in past.
Thwaites Glacier is 120 km wide at its broadest and melting fast over the years. Because of its size (1.9 lakh square km), it contains enough water to raise the world sea level by more than half a meter. Studies have found the amount of ice flowing out of it has nearly doubled over the past 30 years. ....
