They observed three types of ice losses, each with a distinctive and detailed sound signature: the splash of an ice block falling off into the water; the crack of a fragment sliding down the glacier's rough surface; and the soft thud of an underwater ice chunk breaking away and floating up, followed by a secondary impact as it surfaces.

The OMG data have enough detail that researchers are beginning to pinpoint the ice - loss risk for individual glaciers along the coast, according to principal investigator Josh Willis of JPL.

«Our work shows that the data collected is very well - suited for ice sheet science, and we can combine it with other satellite and airborne data sets to establish a more detailed record of these glaciers.»

There is of course a lot of uncertainty about the details, that affect the melt rates, we just don't know how quickly warmer seawater will undercut floating glaciers, and buildup of darker older snow / ice layers will increase the amount of absorbed sun light.

Here are some possible choices — in order of increasing sophistication: * All (or most) scientists agree (the principal Gore argument) * The 20th century is the warmest in 1000 years (the «hockeystick» argument) * Glaciers are melting, sea ice is shrinking, polar bears are in danger, etc * Correlation — both CO2 and temperature are increasing * Sea levels are rising * Models using both natural and human forcing accurately reproduce the detailed behavior of 20th century global temperature * Modeled and observed PATTERNS of temperature trends («fingerprints») of the past 30 years agree

Six types of instruments aboard Aqua are to scan through the atmosphere down to the surface, gathering the most detailed data ever on water vapor in clouds, ice crystals in the air, evaporation, water in the oceans, icebergs and other sea ice, as well as glaciers and snow pack on land.

A study led by UB geologist Beata Csatho uses NASA data to provide the first detailed reconstruction of how the ice sheet and its many glaciers are changing.

Using 10Be surface exposure ages and radiocarbon - dated lake sediments, we constructed a detailed chronology of ice - margin fluctuations over the past 10 k.y. for Jakobshavn Isbræ, Greenland's largest outlet glacier.

The NY Times has a detailed article by Justin Gillis about the loss of ice from glaciers, principally in Greenland and the dearth of information about the ice loss as more and more satellites take the plunge.

Please email for details, and please also inform me who to ask regarding deploying solar assisted shading frames over potential fracture lines in mountain glacier ice walls to prevent lake out bursts and further melting.

It will also confirm the accelerated rate of change for impacts such as sea - level rise, the steady retreat of Arctic sea ice and quickened melting of ice sheets and glaciers, as well as offer more detail on scenarios that will shape international negotiations over both short - term and long - term greenhouse gas emissions, including how long «business as usual» can be sustained without dangerous risk.

The extended evidence is in the detailed work of a group of researchers at Dartmouth College, published in the journal Geology (see Justin S Stroup, Meredith A Kelly, Thomas V Lowell, Patrick J Applegate, & Jennifer A Howley, «Late Holocene fluctuations of Qori Kalis outlet glacier, Quelccaya Ice Cap, Peruvian Andes», Geology, 25 February 2014).

Sea level rise is happening everywhere, as ice caps and glaciers melt and the seas rise in response to global warming driven by prodigal human combustion of fossil fuels, and researchers have advanced from general warning to the kind of detail that could help city and state planners prepare to cope with flood risks.
