Seawater Intrusion Under Thwaites Glacier Doubles Sea-Level Risk Forecast

New modelling indicates that warm ocean water seeping beneath Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier could make its contribution to global sea-level rise significantly larger than earlier estimates. The finding sharpens concern over one of the planet’s most unstable ice masses, even as researchers stress that the glacier’s future still depends on how quickly surrounding ocean conditions evolve.

Swiss Glacier Melt Exposes Archaeological Finds as Ice Loss Accelerates

Rapid glacier retreat in Switzerland is doing more than reshaping alpine landscapes: it is uncovering archaeological artifacts long sealed in ice, while also intensifying alarm over water security, hydropower output, and climate resilience. Scientists and heritage specialists say the same melt that is revealing rare historical material is also underscoring the speed and scale of a broader environmental crisis across the Alps.

Swiss Glaciers Lose a Fifth in Five Years as Alpine Melt Accelerates

Swiss glaciers have lost roughly 20% of their volume in just five years, according to scientists tracking an abrupt acceleration in Alpine ice loss. The findings underscore how rising temperatures are reshaping Europe’s water reserves, heightening risks for downstream communities, hydropower systems and mountain stability.

Swiss Glaciers Post Another Year of Record Ice Loss, Deepening Water and Climate Risks

Switzerland’s glaciers have suffered another year of exceptional ice loss, extending a multi-year retreat that scientists say is reshaping the Alpine landscape at alarming speed. The melt is not only a symbol of climate change but a practical threat to water supplies, hydropower, tourism and mountain stability across central Europe.

Kannur Researcher Tracks Pollutants from India to the Arctic

A GITAM researcher from Kannur has collected fjord water and glacier meltwater in Svalbard as part of the Indian Arctic Expedition 2026-27, examining how organic pollutants change in ice and move into the sea. The work adds an Indian scientific lens to a fast-warming polar region where melting ice is increasingly linked to the redistribution of contaminants across marine ecosystems.
