Sentences with phrase «as land ice loss»

Not exact matches

Loss of ice would mean more mercury in the air would land directly on water, instead of bouncing back as a gas.

[SLIDE 17] And so not surprisingly sea level is rising as a result not only of the loss of mountain glaciers and the great land ice sheets — losses from the great land ice sheets; but also thermal expansion of sea water because the ocean is getting warmer.

The thing is, Antarctic land ice loss will continue and accelerate as glacial terminators erode more and more quickly.

DSL: «The thing is, Antarctic land ice loss will continue and accelerate as glacial terminators erode more and more quickly.

We have a possible sea level rise with possible Antarctic land ice loss by an unexplainable mechanism as the Antarctic gets colder with more sea ice.

The natural variation that has led us out of the Little Ice Age has a bit of frosting on the cake by land use; and, part of that land use has resulted in a change in vegetation and soil CO2 loss so that we see a rise in CO2 and the CO2 continues to rise without a temperature accompaniment (piano player went to take a leak), as the land use has all but gobbled up most of the arable land North of 30N and we are starting to see low till farming and some soil conservation just beginning when the soil will again take up the CO2, and the GMO's will increase yields, then CO2 will start coming down on its own and we can go to bed listening to Ave Maria to address another global crisis to get the populous all scared begging governments to tell us much ado about... nothing.

«As a result, the loss of glacier mass worldwide, along with the corresponding release of carbon, will affect high latitude marine ecosystems, particularly those surrounding the major ice sheets that now receive fairly limited land - to - ocean fluxes of carbon.»

That growth of sea ice could have potentially been caused by the influx of freshwater as glaciers on land melted, or from changes in the winds that whip around the continent (changes that could be linked to warming or the loss of ozone high in the atmosphere).

Sea level is rising, primarily in response to a warming planet, through thermal expansion of the oceans, and also via the loss of land ice as ocean and air temperatures increase, melting ice and speeding the flow of non-floating ice to form floating icebergs.

There are of course uncertainties in the estimation methods but independent data from multiple measurement techniques (explained here) all show the same thing, Antarctica is losing land ice as a whole, and these losses are accelerating quickly.
