New Study Revises Predictions for Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier Collapse
Research indicates lower likelihood of catastrophic sea-level rise from 'Doomsday Glacier' this century.
- Advanced models show Thwaites Glacier's ice cliffs are more stable than previously thought.
- Even in extreme scenarios, the glacier is unlikely to trigger rapid, runaway ice loss.
- The study challenges the Marine Ice Cliff Instability hypothesis used in earlier predictions.
- Researchers emphasize sea-level rise remains a significant concern despite revised projections.
- Findings highlight the need for continued research on ice sheet dynamics and climate impact.
