•'Doomsday glacier' won't collapse the way we thought, new study suggests
78% Informative
Thwaites Glacier is already contributing about 4% of annual sea-level rise as it loses ice.
One theory suggests the glacier could soon begin to collapse into the ocean like a row of dominoes.
But the findings don't mean that the glacier is stable, says a new study.
Mathieu Morlighem : Ice-ocean interactions explain most of the recent ice mass loss so far.
Warm ocean currents are getting under the ice shelves, thinning the ice from below, which weakens the ice.
Ice loss contributes to sea-level rise, affecting coastal regions around the world.
