Thwaites Glacier's Hidden Vulnerability: Seawater Intrusion Doubles Sea-Level Projections

A study co-authored by Professor Hélène Seroussi, reports that seawater intrusion beneath Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier could contribute up to 30 millimeters to global sea-level rise by 2100, roughly double previous projections.

Best Paper: Speech Neuroprosthesis

PhD student Yuanhao Chen '25 received the Best Paper Award at the Association for Computing Machinery's International Conference on Multimodal Interaction in Napoli, Italy. The paper, co-authored with Professor Peter Chin, is titled, "MoDAl: Self-Supervised Neural Modality Discovery via Decorrelation for Speech Neuroprosthesis." Said Chen, "Professor Chin and I developed a multimodal LLM-based system that converts the brain activity of a speech-impaired person with bulbar-onset ALS, recorded by implanted electrodes as they try to speak, directly into text. While earlier systems discarded signals from Broca’s area due to degraded performance, our system learns to extract complementary information from Broca's area, and it makes about 18% fewer word errors than the best previous system that decodes end-to-end, in a single step."

Paper of the Year Award

Professor Vikrant Vaze is co-author of "Multimodal Transportation Pricing Alliance Design: Large-Scale Optimization for Rapid Gains" selected by the Transportation Science editorial board to receive one of the journal's Paper of the Year Awards for 2025. "We show that innovative pricing optimization algorithms and mechanism design can incentivize collaboration between public transit agencies and private on-demand operators to simultaneously benefit passengers, increase provider profits, reduce emissions and improve equity—a rare win-win-win-win opportunity," said Vaze.

Better Modeling of Sea-Level Rise

Professor Hélène Seroussi is a co-author of "Sea-level contribution from Thwaites Glacier doubles in an observation-constrained ice-sheet model" published in Nature Communications. "Until now, models have treated the grounding zone, where a glacier detaches from the underlying bedrock and begins to float, as a discrete line, because observations in such regions were scarce. Adding seawater intrusions and melting in this zone to simulations of Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica allows the model to better reproduce three decades of observed retreat, and roughly doubles its projected contribution to sea-level rise by 2100," said Seroussi.
