Satellite Image Atlas of Glaciers of the World USGS Fact Sheet 133-99 The world's glaciers react to and interact with changes in global and regional climates. Most mountain glaciers worldwide have been retreating since the latter part of the 19th century; global sea level has risen about 10 centimeters during the past century. Glaciers vary in size as a result of several factors, of which climate variation is probably the most important. The reasons we are interested in glacier variation include its connection to climate change and to global sea level The present volume of the Earth's glacier ice, if totally melted, represents about 80 meters in sea-level rise. From minimum (an interglacial epoch) to maximum (an ice-age epoch) volume of glacier ice on the continents, sea level has a range of 200 meters. For example, during the last glacial peak, about 20,000 years ago, sea level is estimated to have been 120 meters lower than it is today. During a warmer climatic interval in the last interglacial period, 125,000 years ago, sea level was about 6 meters higher than it is today; during an even warmer interval 3 million years ago, sea level is estimated to have been 25 to 50 meters higher. Sea-level changes, especially in low-lying coastal areas and on islands, have significant effects on human activities and facilities. White areas show ice sheets and other glaciers around the world. The white spots in the oceans are islands where glaciers are found. Reproduced from National Geographic WORLD (February 1977, no. 18, p. 6) with permission.

85. Glaciers: What Types Of Glaciers Are There? Types of glaciers. Ice Sheets. They form primarily in polar and subpolarregions, occupying high and relatively flat regions. Mountain glaciers. http://www.digistar.mb.ca/minsci/geology/types.htm

Types of Glaciers Ice Sheets Found only in Antarctica and Greenland, ice sheets are enormous masses of glacial ice and snow that cover over 50,000 square kilometers. The ice sheet on Antarctica is over 4200 meters thick in some areas, covering nearly all of the land features except the Transantarctic Mountains that poke up above the ice. Ice Shelves Ice shelves occur when ice sheets extend over the sea, floating on the water. In thickness they range from a few hundred meters to over 1000 meters. Ice shelves surround the entire continent of Antarctica. The largest shelf is the Ross Ice Shelf , covering over 500,000 square kilometers. Ice Caps Ice caps are miniature ice sheets, covering less than 50,000 square kilometers. They form primarily in polar and sub-polar regions, occupying high and relatively flat regions. Mountain Glaciers These glaciers develop in high mountainous regions, often flowing out of icefields that span several peaks or even a mountain range. The largest mountain glaciers are found in Arctic Canada, Alaska, the Andes in South America, the Himalayas in Asia, and on Antarctica. The Chickamin Glacier in British Columbia, Canada, is a typical mountain glacier. Several glaciers flow into it, and the landscape is nearly covered with ice and snow.(R.M. Wilson photograph, 1924, DC-A for Glaciology, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado.)

He has been painting for 50 years and his painting has gone through various stages in this 50 years period. Inspired first by a magnificent landscape of mountains, glaciers and lava, he began painting landscapes. But shortly after 1950 the thrust of modernism was very common among artists, and Gísli as well as a number of other painters in Iceland took up more or less abstract painting. Still under influence of Icelandic nature, the source of the abstract pictures was found in the landscape. After 1970 Gísli turned away from abstractions and began painting in the figurative way again, now mainly people. This was a narrative period, the motives from old sagas and folklore. That developed by the years into more and more fantasy-painting and the source was mainly poetry. He even held one big exhibition at the Kjarvalsstaðir museum in 1982 where all the paintings derived from poetry. This period was extended to 1998, when the circle was closed and Gísli Sigurðsson was again inspired by the landscape, mainly the landscape of high altitude and wilderness in Iceland, which has a very special beauty. He has been working on this theme since, sometimes in quite a figurative way, though always somewhat stylized. The motive can a panorama, but it can as well be something very small and close; something you see in this nature if you look down by your feet. And if you are not familiar with that kind of nature, some of the pictures might seem to be abstract.

The bare rock around the glacier works as an oven, speeding the melting Dr Robert Gallaire Data collected from tropical ice fields near the world's highest capital, La Paz, show mass loss in the 1990s at rates 10 times greater than previous decades. If rising temperatures and low precipitation continue, many smaller glaciers will vanish in a decade, the researchers believe. Further ahead, the consequence could be water and power shortages for millions of Bolivians. Dangerous work Alvaro Soruco led the way across the Zongo glacier, cautiously poking the ground before him in search of deadly fissures that plummet deep into the dark heart of this slowly moving mass of ice.

Grade 6 Projects Grade 5 Projects Ms Hos-McGrane's Grade 6 Social Studies Class Report on "Icebergs and Glaciers" The Ocean Project In the first quarter of Grade 6 students study the topic of water. In Social Studies we look at the ocean crisis, overfishing, pollution, the world's water and so on, and at the same time in Science we do experiments with water. In 1996, for the first time, students also had four periods of week of Information Technology, where they were taught information literacy and research skills as well as computer literacy. Students spent some time in the classroom, some time in the library and some time in the computer lab. Our first major research topic was entitled The Ocean Project . Students had to choose a topic to do with water, and had to look at the topic from both a science and social studies point of view. Here is a report on Icebergs and Glaciers . produced by two of the students. Includes a report on the sinking of the Titanic Icebergs and Glaciers What is an iceberg?

[Ocean Menu] [Icebergs] Glaciers What is a glacier? All a glacier really is, is a whole lot of snow. Like all mountains have snow on them? No, a glacier isn't the mountain after it has snowed, but after the snow has frozen. A glacier can can be enormous up to 440 miles long. In fact that is the largest glacier on earth. It's called the Lambert glacier and is located in Antarctica. Glaciers, don't just stay in one place all the time, even though they're frozen solid. They don't exactly fly about, but nevertheless they do move. The fastest moving glacier is called Jakobshavn and it moves 62 feet in a day. It doesn't sound like a lot, though it really is, because the only way they can move is by sliding down a thin layer of water that is between the ice and the mountain, or they 'creep' which is when the top layer of ice moves to the bottom eventually making a frozen river sort of thing all the way down the mountain. A glacier can be a lot more complicated then that, yet this is, in basic, what it really is. How are glaciers formed?

THE POWER FOR THE PEOPLE Aids Air Traffic Alaska Alaska Pipeline ... Wind Power Glaciers and Ice Sheets Ice sheets and glaciers form the largest component of perennial ice on Earth. Over 75% of the world's fresh water is presently locked up in these frozen reservoirs. A Glacier is any large mass of perennial ice that originates on land by the recrystallization of snow or other forms of solid precipitation and that shows evidence of past or present flow. A glacier occupying an extensive tract of relatively level land and exhibiting flow from the center outward is commonly called an ice sheet. Glaciers form when snow accumulates on a patch of land over tens to hundreds of years. The snow eventually becomes so thick that it collapses under its own weight and forms dense glacial ice. When enough of the ice is compacted together it succumbs to gravity and begins to flow downhill or spread out across flat lands. What makes glaciers unique is their ability to move. Due to sheer mass, glaciers flow like very slow rivers. More than 90 percent of the 33 million cubic kilometers of glacier ice in the world is locked up in the gigantic Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets.

Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS) Using the World's Glaciers to Monitor Climate Change Project Overview Japanese version GLIMS (Global Land Ice Measurements from Space) is a project designed to monitor the world's glaciers primarily using data from the ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and reflection Radiometer) instrument aboard the EOS Terra spacecraft, launched in December, 1999. "Glim" is an archaic Scottish term that means, "a passing look; a glimpse; as much as is seen at a glance." In a future historical perspective, we may well look back on GLIMS and other late-20th Century remote-sensing of Earth's glaciers as a glim of a passing or changing phenomenon. We are continuing to build the infrastructure for GLIMS: a set of software tools that we can apply to the tracking of glaciers' areal extent location of snow line at the end of the melt season velocity field location of terminus a network of centers around the world that will monitor the glaciers in their regions the database infrastructure capable of storing and manipulating approximately 80 gigabytes of additional data per year.
