Heterogeneous melting near the Thwaites Glacier grounding line

B. E. Schmidt, P. Washam, et al.

Thwaites Glacier, a significant player in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, is experiencing alarming grounding line retreat and specialized melt mechanisms. This research, conducted by an expert team including B. E. Schmidt and P. Washam, unveils critical insights into how slope-dependent melting interacts with ocean warming, reshaping the ice base and posing a serious risk to our climate stability.... show more
