An international team including scientists from Georgia Tech captured new images and first-of-its-kind data from deep beneath an Antarctic glacier. This aims to help scientists better understand the impact of one of Antarctica’s fastest changing regions and its impact on future sea level rise.

HMS Protector, Royal Navy survey ship, smashed through approximately 300 miles of Antarctic ice to help scientists begin a five year mission in order to understand how West Antarctica contributes to global sea-level rise. The vessel 'opened the path' in the Antarctic to support a team of 100 scientists who seek to understand a glacier the size of Great Britain.

A joint researched program by UK and US research program was launched at Monday, 30 April, called Thwaites Glacier Collaboration. The program will focus on the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica, which can significantly affect global sea levels. The glacier accounts for around 4% of global sea level rise.

Scientists from NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory are teaming up this summer and early fall to use new unmanned tools to study how melting glaciers in Alaska's Prince William Sound

Some of the increased melting at the surface of the ice sheet is due to a warmer atmosphere, but the ocean's role in driving ice loss largely remains a mystery
