Sentences with phrase «glacier mass worldwide»

As explained in the press release, the scientists began with the measure of sea level rise between 2005 and 2013, then deducted the amount of rise due to meltwater (e.g., melting ice sheets and loss of glacier mass worldwide) and then the amount of rise due to the expansion of water from the warming in the upper portion of the world's oceans (which scientists have good data on).

«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.»

Not exact matches

Consistent with observed changes in surface temperature, there has been an almost worldwide reduction in glacier and small ice cap (not including Antarctica and Greenland) mass and extent in the 20th century; snow cover has decreased in many regions of the Northern Hemisphere; sea ice extents have decreased in the Arctic, particularly in spring and summer (Chapter 4); the oceans are warming; and sea level is rising (Chapter 5).

Isabella Velicogna can use that information to «study the mass balance of the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets and glaciers worldwide, in response to climate warming.»

To get a sense of what is happening worldwide, you can check the global glacier mass balance chart at the bottom of this page:

Also, the mass of glaciers worldwide declined at the rate of 226 Gt / year from 1971 to 2009 and 275 Gt / year from 1993 to 2009.

Although one can point to particular glaciers that are growing, glaciologists look for trends in the total mass of glaciers worldwide.

Climate change is causing significant mass loss of glaciers in high mountains worldwide.

Over the last two decades, the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have been losing mass, glaciers have continued to shrink almost worldwide, and Arctic sea ice and Northern Hemisphere spring snow cover have continued to decrease in extent.

Most mountain glaciers worldwide are losing mass, contributing to sea - level rise.

The study relied on multiple global climate models to simulate mass balance of glaciers worldwide, excluding Antarctica, from 1851 to 2010.

Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have steadily lost mass in two decades, and glaciers are shrinking worldwide.
