Sentences with phrase «glacier ice growth»

Sea ice conditions and glacier ice growth and melt naturally integrate long term trends so that «weather» doesn't matter so much.

Not exact matches

Land - based ice in glaciers and ice - sheets will keep contributing to sea level rise as long as melting exceeds snowfall accumulation; stopping the growth of temperature would not stop the net melting.

Ice age - An ice age or glacial period is characterized by a long - term reduction in the temperature of the Earth's climate, resulting in growth of continental ice sheets and mountain glaciers (glaciatioIce age - An ice age or glacial period is characterized by a long - term reduction in the temperature of the Earth's climate, resulting in growth of continental ice sheets and mountain glaciers (glaciatioice age or glacial period is characterized by a long - term reduction in the temperature of the Earth's climate, resulting in growth of continental ice sheets and mountain glaciers (glaciatioice sheets and mountain glaciers (glaciation).

The resulting global cooling, allowed the growth of Arctic ice caps, glaciers and sea ice.

Once the growth of Little Ice Age glaciers stopped, and groundwater base flow was no longer offset, we would expect sea levels to rise as witnessed during the 19th and 20th centuries.

However warm spikes due to high solar output punctuated this cooling trend roughly every thousand years.22 The unprecedented Holocene glacier growth during the Little Ice Age occurred when solar output was extremely low.

• borehole data affirm «we're in a warming blade» • tree - ring data affirm «we're in a warming blade» • coral - growth data affirm «warming blade» • migratory birds affirm «warming blade» • plant - blooming dates affirm «warming blade» • carbon - dating affirms «warming blade» • sea - level data affirm «warming blade» • ocean - temperature data affirm «warming blade» • polar ice - mass data affirm «warming blade» • mountain - glacier data affirm «warming blade» • borehole data affirm «warming blade» ---------- • energy - balance climate - science predicted «a warming blade»

Colder temperatures from 1500 - 750 BC caused renewed ice growth in continental glaciers and alpine glaciers, and a sea level drop of between 2 to 3 meters below present day levels.

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).

«High tilt = Cooler polar summers coupled with warmer polar winters = ice growth (assuming there are continents around to support glaciers).

Though few expect a complete melt — the glaciers have weathered warmth before — a 2016 study in Nature found that continued growth of greenhouse gas emissions over the next several decades could trigger cause an unstoppable collapse of Antarctica's ice.

Quantities such as tree ring widths, coral growth, isotope variations in ice cores, ocean and lake sediments, cave deposits, fossils, ice cores, borehole temperatures, and glacier length records are correlated with climatic fluctuations.

One extreme view envisions a «snow blitz» beginning of the ice - age climate, only a few years long, and a rapid growth of continental glaciers.
