According to predictions, melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) could destabilize the AMOC. However, new research published in the journal Science Advances suggests that meltwater from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet could prevent it from collapsing altogether

Polar ice melt offers unexpected solution to a global climate disaster

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a system of Atlantic Ocean currents that redistributes heat and nutrients between the tropics and the North Atlantic, is one of the planet's tipping points. That means there is a critical threshold that, once crossed, could trigger abrupt, irreversible climate shifts.

Satellite images reveal the fastest Antarctic glacier retreat ever

Hektoria Glacier’s sudden eight-kilometer collapse stunned scientists, marking the fastest modern ice retreat ever recorded in Antarctica. Its flat, below-sea-level ice plain allowed huge slabs of ice to detach rapidly once retreat began. Seismic activity confirmed this wasn’t just floating ice but grounded mass contributing to sea level rise. The event raises alarms that other fragile glaciers may be poised for similar, faster-than-expected collapses.

Cracks in Antarctic 'Doomsday Glacier' ice shelf trigger accelerated destabilization

Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica—often called the "Doomsday Glacier"—is one of the fastest-changing ice–ocean systems on Earth, and its future remains a major uncertainty in global sea-level rise projections. One of its floating extensions, the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf (TEIS), is partially confined and anchored by a pinning point at its northern terminus.
