UK and Us Scientists Tackle Antarctic Glacier
British and American scientists are joining forces to research the melting of an Antarctic glacier in what they are calling a race against time.
By Alex Kirby
An international team of scientists is mounting an ambitious research programme to find how soon a vast Antarctic glacier may collapse, with implications for sea levels worldwide.
The Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica could significantly affect global sea levels. It already drains an area roughly the size of Britain or the US state of Florida, accounting for around 4% of global sea-level rise, an amount that has doubled since the mid-1990s. Its collapse would destabilise other parts of the ice sheet.
