Summary

We present evidence for seawater intrusions occurring at tidal frequencies over many kilometers beneath the grounded ice of Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica, a major contributor to sea level rise.

Using a continuous time series of daily-repeat satellite synthetic-aperture radar interferometry data from ...
