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.
