International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC)

The International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC) is a global scientific effort focused on studying Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, often called the "Doomsday Glacier" due to its potential impact on sea level rise. Researchers from multiple countries work together to understand how climate change is affecting the glacier's stability, its flow into the ocean, and the risks of rapid melting. By sharing data and expertise, the collaboration aims to improve predictions of future sea level changes and inform strategies to mitigate climate impacts on coastal communities worldwide.
