    009 – Past foraminiferal acclimatization capacity is limited during future warming

    This research paper examines the ability of marine calcifying zooplankton called foraminifera to adapt to climate change. By combining fossil records and a global trait-based plankton model, the study investigates how these organisms responded to past warming at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and projects their response to future warming scenarios. The […]

    008 – How much how fast – A science review and outlook for research on the instability of Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier in the 21st century

    This scientific paper reviews the current state of research on the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica, and outlines key research objectives for the next decade. The paper focuses on understanding the drivers, boundary conditions, and processes involved in the potential collapse of the Thwaites Glacier, which could significantly contribute to global sea-level rise. The authors […]

    007 – Widespread seawater intrusions beneath the grounded ice of Thwaites Glacier

    This research article, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, uses satellite radar data to document the intrusion of warm seawater beneath the grounded ice of Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica. The study reveals that the boundary between grounded ice and floating ice is not a fixed line but rather a “grounding […]

    006 – The Crisis Report 96 – by Richard Crim

    The sources, primarily written by Richard Crim, paint a dire picture of the global climate crisis. They highlight the accelerating rate of warming, the breakdown of natural carbon sinks, and the alarming rise in methane emissions, all pointing to an impending climate collapse. The author contrasts the “mainstream moderate” climate science predictions with his more […]

    005 – Harvesting Purity and Profit: The Strategic Extraction and Global Distribution of Antarctic Ice from Thwaites Glacier

    This source is a document from the Thwaites Iceberg Water Company, a company that harvests water from the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica. It details the company’s operations, from water extraction and processing to global distribution and its high-end bespoke ice cube service. The document heavily emphasizes the company’s commitment to sustainability, but the analysis suggests […]

    004 – Heterogeneous melting near the Thwaites Glacier grounding line

    This research article examines the melting of the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica, a critical component of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. The authors utilize data collected by an underwater vehicle, Icefin, to investigate the interaction between warm ocean water and the glacier’s grounding line, the point where the glacier meets the ocean. The study […]

    003 – High mid-Holocene accumulation rates over West Antarctica inferred from a pervasive ice-penetrating radar reflector

    This study examines past and present accumulation rates of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) to improve our understanding of the ice sheet’s evolution and its contribution to sea-level rise. The research team used a pervasive ice-penetrating radar reflector dated to 4.72 ka BP, called the “4.72 ka IRH”, to infer accumulation rates across a […]

    002 – Relative sea-level data preclude major late Holocene ice-mass change in Pine Island Bay

    This scientific article examines the stability of the Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers in West Antarctica. The researchers analyzed relative sea level (RSL) data from radiocarbon-dated raised beaches in Pine Island Bay. They discovered that RSL fell steadily over the past 5,500 years, indicating that the glaciers have remained relatively stable during this period. This […]

    Two decades of dynamic change and progressive destabilization onthe Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf

    This study by Karen Alley et al. uses satellite imagery and laser altimetry to examine the dynamic changes and instability of the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf (TEIS) in West Antarctica over the past two decades. The TEIS plays a crucial role in buttressing the eastern grounded portion of the Thwaites Glacier, and its loss will […]
