In this episode of PodSights, we delve into the alarming reality of the Thwaites Glacier, known as the "Doomsday Glacier," and its accelerated melting. Discover the intricacies behind this massive ice formation, roughly the size of Florida, and why climate scientists are increasingly concerned about its rapid retreat and the dire implications for global sea levels. We unpack the driving forces behind the glacier’s decline, including saltwater intrusion, tidal action, and warm ocean currents, all revealed through innovative research techniques like the underwater robot Icefin. With predictions indicating a potential rise in sea levels that could submerge coastal cities worldwide, the urgency for climate intervention has never been greater.
