Are you a PhD student in cryospheric sciences? Consider applying for the Karthaus summer school on ice and climate: projects.science.uu.nl/icecl… The 2024 course will run in late May. It is an amazing experience! @egg_igs @EGU_CR

Thwaites Glacier Eastern Ice Shelf from Sentinel-1 over the last eight years. I suspect it won't be long before total collapse. 1080p video can be downloaded here: aluckman4.wixsite.com/ade-s-…

This is crazy! 🤯 We used @ASFHyP3 and AutoRIFT, the ITS_LIVE glacier tracking software, to map the displacement from the #turkeyearthquake with incredible fidelity. Graphic by Alex Gardner, @NASAJPL

One of #TARSAN's aims was to download data from ocean instruments placed below #Thwaites ice shelf in 2019-20, accessible via a cable to the surface. We set up a LAN from the instrument site to our camp so Gabi could manage downloads from our cook tent - v. helpful during storms!

Our put-in team arrived on the ice shelf on Dec. 26 in the middle of a wind storm with blowing snow and gusts up to 35 kts - an exciting day to set up camp! It was stunning to see the damage across the grounding zone and magical to touch #Thwaites snow for the first time❄️

Most people don't realize that ice is one of our most precious minerals. Please take time during #earthday to acknowledge its beauty and what we need to do to stop its demise.

The Thwaites Glacier is the notorious “doomsday glacier.” #Climate change is threatening to make this eastern ice shelf shatter into hundreds of icebergs. Suddenly the whole thing would collapse. -@exploreice @OregonState @sarahkaplan48 washingtonpost.com/climate-e…

Thwaites Glacier at risk of fracturing and collapsing, according to researchers

The Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is retreating rapidly as a warming ocean slowly erodes its ice from below, leading to faster flow, more fracturing and a threat of collapse, according to the Intern
