Climate and Ice


Melting Glaciers: causes, effects and solutions - Iberdrola

Furthermore, the world's glaciers contain enough ice — about 170,000 cubic kilometres — to raise sea levels by nearly half a metre. Impact on the climate.

Ice age climate analysis reduces worst-case warming expected from ...

A new study used updated climate maps from that period, when atmospheric carbon dioxide was lower, to better predict future warming under rising CO2.

How much has Arctic ice declined, and how does that compare to ...

Over the last 40 years, annual Arctic sea ice measurements show ice ... Global warming has already caused the Arctic to release more climate- ...

Melting polar ice is slowing Earth's rotation and may affect time

A new study found that ice loss caused by climate change is redistributing mass on the Earth enough to alter its spin.

Disappearing sea ice, changing diet - Arctic Council

Climate change also contributes to food insecurity in some regions as increasingly unreliable sea ice conditions make it more difficult to hunt for traditional/ ...

Ice, Snow, and Glaciers and the Water Cycle | U.S. Geological Survey

Ice caps influence the weather, too. The color white reflects sunlight (heat) more than darker colors, and as ice is so white, sunlight is ...

Ice age - Wikipedia

An ice age is a long period of reduction in the temperature of Earth's surface and atmosphere, resulting in the presence or expansion of continental and ...

Climate change, melting ice and sea level rise - Science Learning Hub

Although melting sea ice does not cause sea level rise, it does have other implications for the global climate. Sea ice has a light-coloured ...

ARCTIC ICE MELTING AND CLIMATE CHANGE There's so much ice in the arctic, but it's melting. The hotter it gets, the faster the ice melts.

Past Climate Cycles: Ice Age Speculations

A strangely regular pattern of glacial cycles. The pattern pointed to a surprising answer, so precise that some ventured to predict future changes.

Heat waves got you worried? Scientists reveal the fastest way to ...

Even the Arctic feels the heat in the summer. As global temperatures rise, summer sea ice in the Arctic is rapidly declining. About 40% of ...

Are We on the Brink of a 'New Little Ice Age?'

The issue centers around the paradox that global warming could instigate a new Little Ice Age in the northern hemisphere. Evidence for abrupt climate change is ...

Ice Sheet and Climate Processes Driving the Uncertainty in ...

The ice sheets covering Antarctica and Greenland present the greatest uncertainty in, and largest potential contribution to, future sea level rise.

Polar bears and climate change: What does the science say?

The paper plots sea-ice concentration in 18 of the 19 key regions over 1979-2014. It shows that ice decline is more notable in some regions than ...

Antarctica and the climate | NIWA

Sea level rise is caused by the addition of extra water into the ocean from the melting of ice (e.g. ice sheets and glaciers), as well as the thermal expansion ...
