Of course, many scientists can do more, and we encourage all of our colleagues to speak publically about their research and, as the
international glaciological research community did in this case, to try to correct misconceptions.
Nozomu Takeuchi, professor of earth sciences at Chiba University in Japan, said the new research highlights the importance of accounting for biological processes in the cryosphere, and believes the study will have an impact on
glaciological research of the Greenland ice sheet.
According to the study, published in the International
Glaciological Society's Journal of Glaciology, the first decade of the twenty - first century witnessed a «historically unprecedented» rate of glacial ice melt.

You can
see glaciological structures on the ice shelf, indicating that it flows out from its tributary glaciers.
Pfeffer's «back - of - the - envelope» calculations are quite compelling (as presented at the
Midwest Glaciological Meeting in Burlington, VT last month).
«Alaskan and immediately adjacent Canadian glaciers supply one of the largest
measured glaciological contributions to global sea level rise (~ 0.14 mm yr - 1, equivalent to new estimates from Greenland).
As described by Walsh and Johnson (1979), the primary sources for the period from the early 1950s to the early 1970s were the charts of the U.K. Meteorological Office, the Canadian Atmospheric Environment Service, the U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office, the Danish Meteorological Institute and the
Icelandic Glaciological Society.

Mass loss by flow of ice into the ocean is less well understood, and it is arguably the frontier of
glaciological science where the most could be gained in terms of understanding the threat to humans of rapid sea - level rise.

The projects running on the ship vary from the ongoing survey of Earth's magnetic field,
glaciological and geophysical investigations of continental shelf topography, the oceanographic analysis of Weddell Sea deep water, and the project with which I am involved: surface - water diatom distributions (diatoms are unicellular algae).
«Our design allows for
both glaciological and planetary applications over a range of deformational behaviors including friction, anelastic and viscous [properties].
The causes of the age differences at MIS 5 were proposed to occur from (i) an overestimation of the surface mass balance at around MIS 5d - 6 in
the glaciological model, and (ii) an error in one of the age constraints by ~ 3 kyr at MIS 5b.
Researchers from around the world can access these data for a variety of applications, including atmospheric, meteorological, geological,
glaciological, and climate studies.

This article will use the term ice age in the former,

Moreover, their study remains quite controversial within
the glaciological community.
