Jan 5, 2025 · Explaining the science of Antarctic glaciers. We look at ice streams, ice shelves, recent change, modern Antarctic glaciology and past glacial geology.

Jun 16, 2021 · This article looks at climate change and how it is affecting the glaciers in Antarctica. Glaciers and climate change are intimately linked, and the relationship is important because of the potential glaciers have to rise sea level.

Nov 12, 2024 · This section of the website highlights how glaciers interact with climate, and how changing climate is changing glaciers around the world today. Globally, glaciers are receding and shrinking in response to atmospheric warming.

The explanations and visuals of ice dynamics and glacier movement are not only educational but also mesmerizing. Antarctica’s ice is a critical piece of the climate puzzle, and your website helps to shed light on its importance.

Oct 26, 2023 · Glaciers in Antarctica are currently contributing little to global sea level rise. From 2003-2009, the global glacier mass budget was -259 ± 28 gigatonnes per year, which is equivalent to the combined ice loss from Antarctica and Greenland.

Oct 5, 2020 · Mountain glaciation around the Antarctic Peninsula was initiated 37-34 Ma, coinciding with the opening of the Drake Passage, the separation of the Andes and the Antarctic Peninsula, and the development of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current[11].

Jan 5, 2025 · Location map of the Langtang Catchment showing glacier outlines from the Little Ice Age (LIA)¹ and 2010², major villages along the trekking route (green stars), and major glaciers (labelled), overlaid on a world topographic map.

Jun 15, 2023 · Reduced glacier extents in Patagonia and the eastern Antarctic Peninsula occur when conditions resemble a persistent positive Southern Annular Mode 10. Ice cores on the Antarctic Peninsula, on the Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica.

Jun 22, 2020 · These moraine types are common in mountain settings such as the European Alps, the Southern Alps of New Zeland (see the Mueller Glacier moraines below) and the Himalayas, where the high supply of rock debris from unstable valley sides, rapidly build up at the glacier margins.

Aug 18, 2022 · From ice-shelf tributary to tidewater glacier: continued rapid glacier recession, acceleration and thinning of Röhss Glacier following the 1995 collapse of the Prince Gustav Ice Shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula.
