Scientists using ice-breaking ships and underwater robots have found the Thwaites Glacier is melting at an accelerating rate and could be on an irreversible path to collapse.

As a six-year investigation into the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica wraps up, the scientists involved are pessimistic for the future of this glacier and the consequences for sea level rise

Researchers from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) used underwater robots to take new measurements of the glacier, which is the same size as Great Britain.

Greenland's glaciers are melting at an alarming rate, and scientists warn that this will have consequences in Europe as well. The last decade has seen peak levels of extreme ice melting in Greenland.

Greenland's glaciers are melting at an alarming rate, and scientists say this will have consequences in Europe as well. The last decade has seen a peak in extreme ice melting in Greenland. Research published in the "Journal of Climate" by a team from the University of Barcelona highlights dramatic phenomena related to ice melt in recent decades.
