For the first time, researchers have been able to obtain data from underneath Thwaites Glacier, also known as the “Doomsday Glacier”. They find that the supply of warm water to the glacier is larger than previously thought, triggering concerns of faster melting and accelerating ice flow.
Med hjälp av den obemannade undervattensfarkosten som tagit sig under Thwaites glaciärfront har forskarna gjort en lång rad helt nya upptäckter. Farkosten har bland annat mätt styrka, temperatur, salthalt och syrgashalt hos havsströmmarna som går in under glaciären.
