Thwaites Glacier Projected to Continue Melting for Over a Century Regardless of Ocean Cooling

New research from the British Antarctic Survey indicates that the Thwaites Glacier, known as the 'Doomsday Glacier,' is committed to at least 150 years of ice loss, even if ocean temperatures decrease. Past ocean-driven melting has already set this process in motion, making future ice loss unavoidable. The glacier's total collapse could contribute an estimated 65cm to global sea level rise, highlighting the long-term impact of climate change.
