But the large volumes of data on Arctic sea and land ice that IceBridge has collected during its nine years of operations there have also enabled scientific discoveries ranging from the first map showing what parts of the bottom of the massive Greenland Ice Sheet are thawed to improvements in snowfall accumulation models for all of Greenlaice that IceBridge has collected during its nine years of operations there have also enabled scientific discoveries ranging from the first map showing what parts of the bottom of the massive Greenland Ice Sheet are thawed to improvements in snowfall accumulation models for all of GreenlaIce Sheet are thawed to improvements in snowfall accumulation models for all of Greenland.

But also keep in mind that Lambeck et al (2002) have suggested that loss of permanent ice over the Arctic Sea at the end of the last interglacial allowed for increased accumulation of snow and ice at high latitudes because of the increased amount of moisture available.

The shape of the accumulation graph looks distressingly similar to the shape of Arctic sea ice graphs.

The paper, combining evidence of driftwood accumulation and beach formation in northern Greenland with evidence of past sea - ice extent in parts of Canada, concludes that Arctic sea ice appears to have retreated far more in some spans since the end of the last ice age than it has in recent years.

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.

I believe that what the phrase is trying to get at is either the acceleration relative to the pause in the 1950 - 1970 period, or the acceleration in accumulation of noticeable consequences — worldwide glacier melt, sea ice retreat, earlier onset of springtime, (possibly) increasingly intense hurricanes, Larsen - B breakup, melting of Greenland along the margins, etc..

It follows that accumulation of ice must result in a fall in sea level, and vice versa.

Ice accumulation on land lowered sea level by about 400 feet (120 meters).

d Numbers of total dinoflagellate cysts per gram sediment (green circles), concentration of sea - ice related dinoflagellate species Impagidinium pallidum in percent of total dinoflagellate cyst taxa (blue circles) and accumulation rates of Operculodinium centrocarpum (olive - colored graph) indicative of warm Atlantic Water inflow42.

New paper finds East Antarctic ice sheet will have negative contribution to sea levels over next 200 years — Published The Cryosphere — Paper «studies one of the largest ice shelves in East Antarctica and predicts increased accumulation of ice on the surface of the ice shelf will have a net contribution of decreasing sea levels over the 21st and 22nd centuries.

Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) data (2003 — 08) show mass gains from snow accumulation exceeded discharge losses by 82 ± 25 Gt a − 1, reducing global sea - level rise by 0.23 mm a − 1.

Now if you are wondering about Arctic Sea Ice and doubt anecdotal evidence, you could look at Greenland Snow Accumulation as a proxy of sea ice extent and find that around 1940 there was higher than normal accumulation, but not quite as high as 2012 or circa 17Sea Ice and doubt anecdotal evidence, you could look at Greenland Snow Accumulation as a proxy of sea ice extent and find that around 1940 there was higher than normal accumulation, but not quite as high as 2012 or circa 17Ice and doubt anecdotal evidence, you could look at Greenland Snow Accumulation as a proxy of sea ice extent and find that around 1940 there was higher than normal accumulation, but not quite as high as 2012 or circa 17sea ice extent and find that around 1940 there was higher than normal accumulation, but not quite as high as 2012 or circa 17ice extent and find that around 1940 there was higher than normal accumulation, but not quite as high as 2012 or circa 1750.

Scientists: Warming causes Antarctic ice sheet growth, and lower sea levels By Kenneth Richard While many scientists are projecting rapid sea level rise as a result of a warmer Antarctica and consequent ice sheet melting, other scientists are projecting that the surface of the Antarctic ice sheet will gain in mass because a warmer Antarctica means snow and ice accumulation will outpace the -LSB-...]

Physics tells us that the sea level can be influenced by a melting / accumulation of ice caps and glaciers, as well as a thermal expansion of ocean water.
