The new model shows Thwaites has a 60 percent chance of becoming permanently unpinned from the seafloor by century's end, potentially as soon as 2038. If current warming continues, the glacier could contribute 3 centimeters of sea level rise by 2100—double previous projections.
“There are many other unknowns, but this solves a specific and very important piece of the puzzle.”
