4 Μαΐ 2021 · Glacier melt across the world has accelerated over the past two decades, a new study finds, with the resulting meltwater accounting for 21% of global sea level rise over the same period.
8 Απρ 2019 · The largest collection so far of glaciological and geodetic observations suggests that glaciers contributed about 27 millimetres to sea-level rise from 1961 to 2016, at rates of ice loss...
Ice, which covers 10 percent of Earth's surface, is disappearing rapidly. Select a topic below to see how climate change has affected glaciers, sea ice, and continental ice sheets worldwide.
5 Ιαν 2023 · Our global projections of glacier contribution to sea level rise for 2015 to 2100 range from 90 ± 36 mm SLE (RCP2.6) to 163 ± 53 mm SLE (RCP8.5) and 98 ± 38 mm SLE (SSP1-2.6) to 166 ± 83 mm SLE (SSP5-8.5), respectively .
Sea level rise is caused primarily by two factors related to global warming: the added water from melting ice sheets and glaciers, and the expansion of seawater as it warms. The first graph tracks the change in global sea level since 1993, as observed by satellites.
Glaciers are responsible for much of the global rise we see today. But past glaciers are also causing big differences in sea level rise from place to place. Glaciers are rivers of ice. You’ll find them in places where snow falls in winter and doesn’t melt entirely in summer.
28 Απρ 2021 · The world's glaciers are melting at an accelerating rate, according to a comprehensive new study. A French-led team assessed the behaviour of nearly all documented ice streams on the planet.
