What we know
A new ice sheet model developed by glaciologists at the University of California, Irvine and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory projects that the melting of Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica will contribute up to 30 millimeters (1. 2 inches) of sea level rise by 2100—twice previous estimates—even without additional climate warming.
