Thwaites Glacier could contribute twice as much sea-level rise as previously projected
A new ice sheet model developed by researchers at the University of California, Irvine and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory projects that Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica could contribute up to 30 millimeters (1.2 inches) of sea-level rise by 2100—double previous estimates—even without additional climate warming.

AI analysisThis finding underscores the urgent need for more robust climate change mitigation strategies and adaptation plans. The increased projected sea-level rise could exacerbate coastal flooding risks, particularly in low-lying areas.
The new model suggests a higher likelihood of significant sea-level rise from Thwaites Glacier than previously estimated.
- Further research to validate the model's predictions through additional satellite observations
- Monitoring of Thwaites Glacier's grounding zone dynamics
