Summary:
- The Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is melting faster than previously thought, according to a new study.
- The accelerated melting of Thwaites Glacier is fueling sea level rise and could lead to the collapse of the entire West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
- Researchers used satellite data and computer models to track the changes in the glacier's flow and found that it is losing ice at an increasingly rapid rate, which could have significant global consequences.
