I know it sounds sensationalist, but the article "The Doomsday Glacier" [1] in Rolling Stone is a nice, understandable article on the feedback mechanism in Thwaites glacier.
(They call it Doomsday because they consider the worst scenario, when the inflow of warm water causes mass melting, and Thwaites and the ice held back by Thwaites leads to 10 feet of ocean rise. This 10 feet is also mentioned in the main article).
