Sentences with phrase «overall glacier change»

The overall glacier change behaviors are similar to glaciers observed in other part of the Himalayan region.

Not exact matches

Some progress has been made, but overall, change has occurred at a glacier's pace.

Since overall the changes heat the Earth, the glaciers from which major rivers flow are melting.

Climate change is a shift in overall global temperatures and weather, and it is already affecting ice sheets and glaciers across the globe.

Given all the independent lines of evidence pointing to average surface warming over the last few decades (satellite measurements, ocean temperatures, sea - level rise, retreating glaciers, phenological changes, shifts in the ranges of temperature - sensitive species), it is highly implausible that it would lead to more than very minor refinements to the current overall picture.

And remember, the satellite data are one small part of a vast amount of data that overwhelmingly show our planet is warming up: retreating glaciers, huge amounts of ice melting at both poles, the «death spiral» of arctic ice every year at the summer minimum over time, earlier annual starts of warm weather and later starts of cold weather, warming oceans, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, more extreme weather, changing weather patterns overall, earlier snow melts, and lower snow cover in the spring...

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.
