Sentences with phrase «when glacial water»

Iceland Water has some of the lowest total dissolved solids due to the natural filtration process that occurs when glacial water filters through Iceland's porous volcanic bedrock.

Not exact matches

That's when I heard about Icelandic Glacial and how they were the world's FIRST bottled water certified as CarbonNeutral.

In 2005, when Marchant and his team were exploring the Labyrinth, they noticed scouring patterns on the walls within the channels, hinting at a massive surge of water below a glacial surface.

The researchers found that during glacial periods when the atmosphere was colder and sea ice was far more extensive, deep ocean waters came to the surface much further north of the Antarctic continent than they do today.

Iron and sulfides could get into the water from rocks ground up when the glacial ice rubs against the bedrock of the continent.

The sand was blown up onto the island during the last glacial period when the water levels were very low.

Which leads me to another question — the melting glacial / Greenland / Antarctic ice water is depleted in CO2 (check out the bubbles in your ice cubes)-- how much additional CO2 is being sequestered by this runoff into the oceans, and what happens to CO2 increase when we run out of glaciers?

Consistent with how I was reading things, pleasantly — barring some cautious hedging I'd made, based on the possibility that salinity could reflect mass changes, either when fresh water was added to the ocean via glacial melt or impoundment decreases (ocean mass increase) or via increased evaporation rates (ocean mass decrease).

We've had both situations in the past — «Amsterdam» under ice about 20,000 years ago at the last glacial maximum, and «Amsterdam» under water in the Pliocene, 3 million years ago, when CO2 and sea level were higher than today.

Water stored as glacial ice could serve as the Himalayan region's hydrologic «insurance,» adding to streams and rivers when it is most needed.

In addition to running climate models, the researchers compared modern warming to similar temperature increases that happened approximately 120,000 years ago in a period known as the Eemian, when global sea level was 5 to 9 meters (between 16 and 30 feet) higher than it is today due to the release of glacial water.

A challenge for climate sleuths has been to find a place holding a series of corals dating back into and beyond the last ice age, when sea levels were more than 300 feet lower than they are now because so much water was locked up in glacial ice.

Not only are the «frozen reservoirs» a fundamental water source, but the melting can also cause GLOFS — aka: «mountain tsunamis» — killer flash floods that occur when glacial lakes suddenly burst.

Glaciers Sizzle, Squirt Bubbles When Melting To Create Loudest Marine Environment; These Sounds Could Help To Measure Ice Melt By Sreeja VN: Sizzling underwater glacial ice, as it melts into warmer sea water, creates one of the loudest natural marine environments, and the air bubbles that pop during the process could help scientists measure the rate of...
