Sampling bedrock beneath the ice sheet, GHC will identify if and when the glacier retreated in the past, how it recovered, and how it is currently responding to environmental conditions.

Investigating sediments deposited in the seas near the glacier, Thwaites Offshore Research (THOR) will reconstruct past changes in environmental conditions and the glacier’s response to these, thereby adding context to our projections of future change.

Measuring ocean circulation and thinning beneath the floating part of the glacier using state of the art technology such as AUVs and automated land-ice stations, TARSAN will investigate how the ocean and atmosphere are affecting the glacier.
An international research team deployed the uncrewed submersible 'Ran' underneath 350 m thick ice. They got back the first detailed maps covering extensive of the underside of a glacier, revealing clues to future sea level rise.
Satellite data provides first evidence of ocean water intrusion between the remote Thwaites Glacier.
