A team of glaciologists led by researchers at the University of California, Irvine used high-resolution satellite radar data to find evidence of the intrusion of warm, high-pressure seawater many kilometers beneath the grounded ice of West Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier.
A team of international researchers say warm sea water is pushing underneath the Thwaites Glacier, also dubbed the doomsday glacier, causing sea levels to rise. New evidence captured by satelitte images and water modelling has been published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
