Sentences with phrase «glacial ice acceleration»

This suggests that glacial ice acceleration due to changes in seasonal meltwater flux tend to not make a significant overall change in outlet glacier ice velocities.

Not exact matches

From what I've heard has been happening in the Arctic, that sounds more like acceleration too, in the loss of glacial ice, permafrost and sea ice.

Current events surrounding increased oceanic heat around ice sheet margins in Antarctic are expected to play a dynamical role in marine terminating glacial ice loss acceleration there as well.

Climate News Network: Researchers in the US have identified a new reason for the acceleration in the melting of Greenland's icecap − the ice underneath, as it melts and then refreezes, appears to speed up glacial flow.

But in the last 20 years, observers have measured the successive losses to large areas of the Larsen ice shelf off the Antarctic Peninsula, and these have resulted in an alarming acceleration of glacial flow on land, even though Antarctica remains the coldest continent on Earth.

Chloride = 31,000 p.p.m. (de-icing agents) trapped under the ice, is causing the bottom of the ice shelf to thaw, resulting in continuous thinning and acceleration of glacial melt (under water glacier cutting).

In the Antarctic, the loss of buttressing sea ice shelves could mean acceleration of glacial ice loss, particularly in the vulnerable Western Antarctic.
