4 Μαΐ 2021 · Glacier melt across the world has accelerated over the past two decades, according to a new study. It found that meltwater accounted for 21% of global sea level rise over the same period. Glaciers are losing more mass than the Greenland or Antarctic ice sheets with annual rates of glacier thinning 'nearly doubled' from 2000 to 2019.
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.
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.
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 that...
The rapid melt of glaciers and the Greenland ice sheet are causing sea levels to rise in most of the world, purely by adding huge volumes of water into the ocean. But this rise hasn't...
26 Απρ 2023 · More than 20% of the world's population is thought to be dependent in some way on summer melt waters that flow from glaciers - for drinking, for agriculture and to drive hydropower stations.
28 Απρ 2021 · We show that during 2000–2019, glaciers lost a mass of 267 ± 16 gigatonnes per year, equivalent to 21 ± 3 per cent of the observed sea-level rise6.
