World Data Ocean keeps ice-sheet model in one place: one story so far. The section currently leads with “New tidal dynamics model reveals hidden melt beneath Thwaites Glacier ice”. The boundary beneath Thwaites Glacier is not a static line on a map, it is a dynamic zone where tides push seawater kilometers inland beneath resting ice.

New tidal dynamics model reveals hidden melt beneath Thwaites Glacier ice

The boundary beneath Thwaites Glacier is not a static line on a map, it is a dynamic zone where tides push seawater kilometers inland beneath resting ice. A new study in *Nature Communications* incorporates these intrusions into a calibrated ice-sheet model. One conditional projection shows a sea-level contribution of roughly 3 centimeters by 2100, double previous estimates under constant forcing. That is a measured, empirical insight, not a maximum forecast.
