Arctic sea ice loss in past linked to abrupt climate events
Read more of: Arctic sea ice loss in past linked to abrupt climate eventsA new study on ice cores shows that reductions in sea ice in the Arctic in the period between 30-100,000 years ago led to major climate events. During this period, […]

Stability and Instability – Records of External Drivers and Resulting Behaviour of Thwaites Glacier
Read more of: Stability and Instability – Records of External Drivers and Resulting Behaviour of Thwaites GlacierTHOR examined sedimentary record both offshore from the glacier and beneath the ice shelf, together with glacial landforms on the sea bed, to reconstruct past changes in ocean conditions and the glaciers response to these changes.

Geological History Constraints on the Magnitude of Grounding Line Retreat in the Thwaites Glacier System
Read more of: Geological History Constraints on the Magnitude of Grounding Line Retreat in the Thwaites Glacier SystemGHC will gather information about past ice sheet behaviour and relative sea level change in the Thwaites Glacier system. Determining the timing and magniture of past episodes of thinning and retreat and subsequent re-advance is important to provide a context for the current and future behaviour of Thwaites Glacier.
