Race Against Time: Geoengineers Propose Underwater Curtains to Slow Melting of Doomsday Glacier by@allan-grain

Too Long; Didn't Read

Geoengineers are planning to test massive underwater curtains that could slow catastrophic glacial melting. The Thwaites glacier is located in West Antarctica and flows into Pine Island Bay, part of the Amundsen Sea. Since the year 2000, it has lost over 1,000 billion tons of ice. If the glacier collapsed entirely, global sea levels would ultimately rise by about 10 feet.
