Context triple: [Thwaites Glacier, studiedBy, International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration]
  • A. Trinity Peninsula coastal glaciers
    Trinity Peninsula coastal glaciers are a group of interconnected glaciers and ice piedmonts fringing the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, draining its coastal ice into the surrounding seas.
  • B. West Antarctic outlet glaciers
    West Antarctic outlet glaciers are fast-flowing ice streams that drain the West Antarctic Ice Sheet into the surrounding oceans, playing a critical role in regional ice loss and global sea-level rise.
  • C. Thwaites Glacier
    Thwaites Glacier is a massive and rapidly melting Antarctic glacier, often called the "Doomsday Glacier" for its potential to significantly raise global sea levels if it collapses.
  • D. Pine Island Glacier
    Pine Island Glacier is one of Antarctica’s largest and fastest-melting glaciers, a major contributor to global sea-level rise located in West Antarctica’s Amundsen Sea sector.
  • E. Études sur les glaciers
    Études sur les glaciers is a foundational 1840 scientific work by Louis Agassiz that helped establish the study of glaciers and the concept of past ice ages in geology.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
