Scientist says glacier melting poses imminent threat to life | World ...
Scientist Jemma Wadham says glacier melting poses an imminent threat to life. Glaciers and ice sheets store about 70% of the world’s fresh water. Wadham has spent her career studying glaciers from the Swiss Alps to the Himalayas.
Climate change: The state of melting glaciers on sea levels | World ...
The paper, published in Nature, is the first to analyse the rate of melting from almost every glacier on the planet – around 200,000 in total, excluding the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets – to show how they have lost mass and thickness between 2000 and 2019.
What the melting Arctic means for the world
The Arctic is turning from white to blue, absorbing more heat and disrupting the world's weather patterns. If Arctic ice disappears completely we are heading for disaster.
Which cities are at risk from ice sheets melting? This tool holds the ...
The tool works by taking into account the Earth’s rotation and gravitational effects to paint a broader picture of how certain melting points impact cities. Users of the tool can then pick from 293 cities to see how melting ice structures might affect different coastal regions.
35 years of arctic ice melting, in 125 seconds - The World Economic Forum
The Arctic ice melting situation has implications for the rest of the planet, such as causing sea levels to rise and disturbing ocean currents and ecosystems. According to NASA, the past four years have been the warmest on record and the planet’s average global surface temperature is now 1°C hotter than in the pre-industrial 1880s.
Climate change: Glaciers in the Alps are melting much faster | World ...
Satellite data shows significant melting of the Rhone Glacier, which feeds into the Rhone River, from June to July. By July 15, the snow line on the glacier was located at 2,950 meters (9,700 feet) — about 150 meters (500 feet) higher than is typical for this time of the year.
Scientists have proposed three colossal geoengineering projects to slow ...
Warmer currents from the Atlantic are melting the glacier’s base, so the scientists propose building a wall up to 100m tall in front to prevent the warm water from reaching it. The wall would be made up of gravel and sand piled up on the sea bed to create an artificial embankment, and would be clad in concrete to stop erosion.
Bhutan: Why we need climate action to avert glacial lake outburst ...
Lunana is home to four glacial lakes – Lugge, Thorthomi, Rahpstreng and Beytsho. The first three are among Bhutan’s 17 most dangerous glacial lakes. As temperatures get warmer, the glaciers are fast melting, raising water levels in the glacial lakes, and magnifying the risk of an outburst flood.
