Amazing visuals of climate change at Thwaites Glacier. Icefin makes an appearance in this great Financial Times article by Leslie Hook about the work of the ITGC International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration teams.
PI Dr. Britney Schmidt did a Twitter Q&A with Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and answered some of your most frequently asked questions about Thwaites and Icefin as part of the #ThwaitesGlacierChat. Read it all on our blog! buff.ly/2OVg9a1
