Sentences with phrase «global ice volume change»
If one takes the simple view that deglaciation is forced by only global ice volume change and greenhouse feedbacks, then one would be forced to conclude that Antarctic temperature change led all of its forcings!

The fact that our model does a surprisingly good job with simulating the last 400,000 years of global ice volume, with no change in model physics and only one linear change in boundary conditions, argues for the fact that, despite plausible deficiencies, we have done a surprisingly good job of simulating the pattern of fluctuations in ice volume.
On decadal and longer time scales, global mean sea level change results from two major processes, mostly related to recent climate change, that alter the volume of water in the global ocean: i) thermal expansion (Section 5.5.3), and ii) the exchange of water between oceans and other reservoirs (glaciers and ice caps, ice sheets, other land water reservoirs - including through anthropogenic change in land hydrology, and the atmosphere; Section 5.5.5).
The National Snow and Ice Data Center have calculated global change in glacier volume - their results show glaciers are shrinking at an alarming rate.
«Nonetheless, Jacob and colleagues have dramatically altered our understanding of recent global (glacier and ice cap) volume changes, and their contribution to sea - level rise,» Bamber wrote, referring to study researcher Thomas Jacob of Colorado - Boulder.
We use realistic estimates of mass redistribution from ice mass loss and land water storage to quantify the resulting ocean bottom deformation and its effect on global and regional ocean volume change estimates.
Uncertainties in the timing of ice - margin retreat and global ice - volume change allow a variety of plausible deglaciation triggers.
Atmospheric CO2 has also been suggested as driving changes in global ice volume [e.g., Shackleton, 2000; Lea, 2004].
Gerard Roe (U. Washington) showed that the rate of change of global ice volume correlates beautifully with the changes in incoming solar radiation due to Milankovitch cycles (Roe, 2006).
