In recent decades, Thwaites has undergone rapid retreat and thinning, but scientists have been struggling to reconcile ice sheet models that show slower movement with satellite observations that show substantial ice flow acceleration.

Thwaites Glacier is in the Amundsen Sea Embayment sector of West Antarctica, which accounts for roughly one-third of the mass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet. In recent decades, Thwaites has undergone rapid retreat and thinning, but scientists have been struggling to reconcile ice sheet models that show slower movement with satellite observations that show substantial ice flow acceleration.
