Pfeffer et al implicitly assume that for Greenland to contribute to SLR, ice must discharge to the ocean through bedrock gateways, which necessarily constrain the rate.

But the results put speculation of monotonic or exponential increases in Greenland's ice discharge to rest, an idea that some had raised after a doubling over a few years was reported in 2004 for Jakobshavn Isbræ (Greenland's largest outlet glacier).

In a new study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, researchers calculated ice discharge rates for 178 Greenland glaciers more than one kilometer (0.62 miles) wide.

In the future, high - end estimates of ice discharge and regional effects, such as local thermal expansion and coastal subsidence, place the upper limits of relative sea - level rise for the Netherlands at 0.65 to 1.3 m by 2100, excluding gravitational effects.

266 For the hinge from which icebergs break off, see E. J. Rignot, S. P. Gogineni, W. B. Krabill, S. Ekholm, «North and northeast Greenland ice discharge from satellite radar interferometry,» Science 276:934 - 937 (9 May 1997).

Loss of glacial volume in Alaska and neighboring British Columbia, Canada, currently contributes 20 % to 30 % as much surplus freshwater to the oceans as does the Greenland Ice Sheet — about 40 to 70 gigatons per year, 66,78,63,57,64,58 comparable to 10 % of the annual discharge of the Mississippi River.79 Glaciers continue to respond to climate warming for years to decades after warming ceases, so ice loss is expected to continue, even if air temperatures were to remain at current leveIce Sheet — about 40 to 70 gigatons per year, 66,78,63,57,64,58 comparable to 10 % of the annual discharge of the Mississippi River.79 Glaciers continue to respond to climate warming for years to decades after warming ceases, so ice loss is expected to continue, even if air temperatures were to remain at current leveice loss is expected to continue, even if air temperatures were to remain at current levels.

Scientists have recently observed major changes in these glaciers: several have broken up at the ocean end (the terminus), and many have doubled the speed at which they are retreating.2, 5 This has meant a major increase in the amount of ice and water they discharge into the ocean, contributing to sea - level rise, which threatens low - lying populations.2, 3,5 Accelerated melting also adds freshwater to the oceans, altering ecosystems and changing ocean circulation and regional weather patterns.7 (See Greenland ice sheet hotspot for more information.)

... Most projections for the Antarctic Ice Sheet since IPCC AR5 limit the sea - level contribution as a result of dynamic discharge and the potential onset of the marine ice sheet instability to 0.3 m by the end of this centuIce Sheet since IPCC AR5 limit the sea - level contribution as a result of dynamic discharge and the potential onset of the marine ice sheet instability to 0.3 m by the end of this centuice sheet instability to 0.3 m by the end of this century.

For the first time, findings based on observations and computer simulations all point to the same conclusion: the huge Amundsen Sea sector of West Antarctica has begun an irreversible ice discharge, and nothing can now halt the subsequent drainage of the entire basin.

The floating ice shelf at the glacier's tip has been melting and thinning for the past four decades, causing the glacier to speed up and discharge more ice.

For example, low discharges were reported during the period known as the Little Ice Age (LIA).

The researchers predict that the Zachariae glacier will go on retreating for another 20 to 30 years, while continuing to increase its discharge of ice.

«Given the large variability in discharge and SMB observed within the past decade and the potential for unaccounted positive feedback within the ice - climate system, however, the contribution of GrIS discharge to future sea level rise remains highly uncertain.»

Moulin discharges mapped inside ∼ 52 % of the source ice watershed for Isortoq, a major proglacial river, totaled ∼ 41 — 98 % of observed proglacial discharge, highlighting the importance of supraglacial river drainage to true outflow from the ice edge.

The water most likely came from melting of the ice sheet — rather than an ice - dammed lake bursting or glacial lake drainage — as the high discharge was maintained for so long, Forster said.

Thus, the losses you will be reimbursed for with a Broad Coverage policy may result from the following reasons: sudden and accidental tearing, cracking, burning, or bulging of a steam or hot water heating system; accidental discharge from a plumbing, heating, air conditioning or sprinkler system or household appliance; freezing of a plumbing, heating, air conditioning or sprinkler system or a household appliance; sudden and accidental damage from artificially generated electricity; falling objects; weight of ice, snow, or sleet, and volcanic eruption.

Broad perils property insurance includes all the basic perils, adding further coverage for loss from falling objects, weight of ice and snow, sudden tearing or breaking apart, accidental discharge, freezing of plumbing, and damage from sudden electrical currents.

Personal property damage, also known as content renters insurance, will pay for the damages caused by fire and smoke, natural disasters such as tornadoes, earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, lightning, windstorms or hail storms, snow, ice or sleet damage, riot or civil commotion, vandalism or theft, falling objects, discharge or overflow of water or steam (often caused by faulty plumbing, freezing, cracking or burning of certain systems or appliances and damage from artificially generated electric current.
