Thwaites Glacier modeling reveals ice loss could be twice previous estimates and committed to 150+ years of retreat
UC Irvine/NASA JPL modeling accounting for tidal pumping suggests Thwaites could contribute ~30 mm of sea-level rise by 2100.
TLDR
UC Irvine/NASA JPL modeling that accounts for warm seawater pumped by tides suggests Thwaites Glacier could contribute roughly 30 mm of sea-level rise by 2100. British Antarctic Survey research found that the glacier continues losing ice even in extreme cooling scenarios. A full collapse could add roughly 65 cm to global sea levels.
