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.
Today, these icy giants are melting because of human activity. Within the past two hundred years or so, human greenhouse gas emissions have risen. This rise has driven up global temperatures, hastening the retreat of glaciers around the world. The resulting meltwater is draining into the oceans and contributing to our rising seas.
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...
1 Σεπ 2016 · Melting Glaciers Are Wreaking Havoc on Earth’s Crust. Sea levels are dropping, earthquakes and volcanoes are waking up, and even the earth’s axis is moving—all because of melting ice
5 Ιαν 2023 · This strong relationship at global and regional scales highlights that every increase in temperature has significant consequences with respect to glacier contribution to sea level rise, the loss of glaciers around the world, and changes to hydrology, ecology, and natural hazards.
28 Απρ 2021 · We identify a mass loss acceleration of 48 ± 16 gigatonnes per year per decade, explaining 6 to 19 per cent of the observed acceleration of sea-level rise.
26 Αυγ 2015 · The research found two deep troughs that could lead warm ocean water to the base of the glacier and melt it in a similar way to what’s happening to the glaciers in West Antarctica. Other sectors grounded below sea level, such as the Cook Ice Shelf, Ninnis, Mertz and Frost glaciers, are also losing mass.
