A chilling new scientific projection map lays bare the catastrophic consequences of Thwaites Glacier, known as the "doomsday ...

The Pine Island Glacier (PIG) is becoming increasingly unstable as a result of global warming, with profound implications for Antarctic mass loss and sea level rise. To study the mass balance of the ...

Satellite image of Pine Island Glacier captured on January 24, 1973, by the Multispectral Scanner on Landsat 1. Satellite image of Pine Island Glacier captured on December 15, 2001, by the Enhanced ...

Bingham points to his colleague Mile’s use of Landsat imagery to map locations where the pinning points once existed as a useful tool in revealing “a proxy for ice shelf thickness change, alongside ...

It took a whole day of sailing just to monitor and map the front of the Thwaites Glacier’s floating shelf, he said, with ice cliffs in some places towering several hundred feet above the water ...

Scientists tagged a southern elephant seal on the island of Kerguelen, an extraordinarily remote spot in the far southern Indian Ocean, in 2011. The seal was a male close to 11 feet long weighing ...

That could add up to 10 feet to global sea levels. But there's still hope. Pine Island was collapsing more quickly than Thwaites, but it slowed down, Brisbourne said.

After the 1994 cruise, it took NSF six years to send a ship back to Pine Island Bay, and the ice was so thick on the first attempt (in 2000) that Jacobs couldn’t get close to Pine Island Glacier.

Pine Island Bay was first seen not by sea, but by air. In the 1940s, the US Navy organized Operation Highjump, which sent aircraft carriers to map different parts of the Antarctic coast. The USS ...

In 2020, a study of those images found that Thwaites, and its neighbour the Pine Island Glacier, were breaking apart more quickly than previously believed even then, as per Business Insider.
