I read this while deployed to Antarctica on my way to Thwaites and would definitely recommend it! Also so cool to see some International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration scientists I know as characters in a book 🇦🇶

This is one *very* cool bit of research - the first map of an ice shelf’s bottom! Researchers weren’t expecting to find these sand dune-like shapes, so the discovery has sparked lots of questions! Check out the thread below for more 👇

Welcome to around 100 #Thwaitesglacier experts from the UK, US, Korea and Germany meeting at British Antarctic Survey 🐧 this week to discuss observations and results from the collaboration so far 🧊

Its an exciting week for the ITGC as the team gathers at British Antarctic Survey 🐧 in Cambridge to discuss what we've learned about the mighty Thwaites over the past few years - so a team photo was obligatory!

#ThwaitesGlacier is set to retreat further and faster, affecting all of West Antarctica. Our latest models predict: 📈 accelerating ice loss in the 21st/22nd centuries 💧 collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet in the 23rd Here's our news briefing ⬇️ thwaitesglacier.org/news/grim-outl…

🎧Did you catch this episode of Beyond the Ice featuring #Thwaites researchers? Megan Sharp, Professor Sridhar Anandakrishnan and Dr Peter Davis, discussed their epic field work to study Thwaites Glacier, and explain what is shaping its future. 📸Rob Larter, Alex Mazur

One week to go until #AntarcticaWeek! Its the time of year when we get to celebrate our favourite place on the planet, and spread the magic of Antarctica. You can find some of our great resources for kids and classrooms on our website: thwaitesglacier.org/news/antarctic…

Newly discovered ice landscapes have been found beneath the Dotson Ice Shelf in Antarctica🏞️ The never before seen ‘swirls and scoops’ patterns map the movement of meltwater flowing under the ice👇 ow.ly/A0ok50UeVhl

A new study by the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, led by researchers at @Dartmouth College in the US, suggests rapid catastrophic collapse of Thwaites Glacier is less likely to occur than previously thought Read in more detail 👇 thwaitesglacier.org/news/research-…

A recent study has found that the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf is rapidly destabilising due to widening cracks, not melting from below as previously thought Read the full story 👇 thwaitesglacier.org/news/thwaites-…

Happy #WorldDayforGlaciers! 🎉 For the first time glaciers like #ThwaitesGlacier are getting a whole day of celebration - encouraging us to learn about them and safeguard their role in sustaining life on Earth 🌍 📸 Chris Gilbert, Pete Bucktrout, Paul Holland, Elisabeth Biersma

Throwing it back to the El Paso Science Festival earlier this month where we talked to visitors about all things Thwaites! Almost 10,000 people came to learn more about the amazing science happening around the world (and to meet astronaut Jose Hernandez!)

Thwaites Glacier is a cover star 🌟 Keep an eye out for the May edition BBC Science Focus to find out more about this remote glacier and why our team of scientists have spent the past five years trying to learn more about it.
