Glacier mass balance intercomparison exercise As of the year 2000, glaciers—excluding the continental ice sheets of Greenland ...

This record indicates decreasing deep-water temperature, along with the build-up of continental ice sheets. Much of this deep-water cooling occurred in three major steps about 36, 15 and 3 million ...

Past ice sheets have retreated rapidly, raising global sea level at rates >1 cm per year, with marine ice sheets collapsing and terrestrial ice sheets retreating in a more gradual fashion.

As the planet heats up and Antarctica’s ice sheet melts at a faster pace, scientists warn of a steady rise in sea levels.

The ice sheet loses ice mass to runoff and meltwater ... The researchers noted that because of continental drift, Greenland must have passed over this hot plume more than 40 million years ago.

The increased mass loss of the Antarctic ice sheet has been attributed to the significant weakening of these floating shelves. This weakening originates from the advection of warm, salty circumpolar ...
