Strong Ocean Melting Feedback During the Recent Retreat of Thwaites Glacier

Accelerating ice loss from Thwaites Glacier is contributing approximately 5% of global sea‐level rise, and could add tens of centimeters to sea level over the coming centuries. We use an ocean model to calculate sub‐ice melting for a succession of Digital Elevation Models of the main trunk of Thwait...
