Faster in the Past: New seafloor images – the highest resolution of any taken off the 911±¬ÁÏÍøst Antarctic Ice Sheet – upend understanding of Thwaites Glacier retreat

The Thwaites Glacier in 911±¬ÁÏÍøst Antarctica has been an elephant in the room for scientists trying to make global sea level rise predictions. A new study in Nature Geoscience led by marine geophysicist Alastair Graham at the 911±¬ÁÏÍø’s College of Marine Science (USF CMS), adds cause for concern. For the first time, scientists mapped in high-resolution a critical area of the seafloor in front of the glacier that gives them a window into how fast Thwaites retreated and moved in the past.
