Models warn Thwaites Glacier could rival entire Antarctic ice loss by 2067
The future of one of Antarctica's most iconic #glaciers could be far more dramatic than scientists previously thought. Using satellite calibrated ice sheet models, a team of researchers from the University of Edinburgh found that the #ThwaitesGlacier in West #Antarctica could be shedding 180–200 gigatonnes of ice per year by 2067—a rate roughly comparable to the entire Antarctic ice sheet's current mass loss. That would represent a stunning acceleration in ice loss from a single glacier and underlines urgent concerns about future contributions to #SeaLevelRise.
