New research on Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier could reshape sea-level rise predictions

The Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is seen in this undated image from NASA. Areas of the glacier may be undergoing "vigorous melting" from warm ocean water caused by climate change, researchers say.

At 80 miles wide, Thwaites is one of the world's largest glaciers. It has been nicknamed the "Doomsday Glacier" for the catastrophic effects its thawing could have on global sea-level rise.
