”和最后一段“The ice loss problems in Antarctica are fairly recent, but the same is not true at the North Pole. where the low level of sea ice has been a concern for years. But the present situation is now similar in both places. (南极洲的冰损失问题是最近才出现的,但北极的情况并非...
Antarctica (南极洲) is a great, icy land mass, surrounded by the huge Southern Ocean. The ice in Antarctica doesn’t just cover the land. There’s also a huge area of sea ice which floats (漂浮) on the ocean’s surface. However, scientists have reported that Antarctica’s sea ice is...
Using detrended correlation analysis we find that mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet shows a statistically significant positive correlation consistent with the surface temperature hypothesis. No such correlation exists for ice sheet mass loss in Antarctica. We conclude that the two polar ice sheet...
Australia - Land, Climate, People: Australia is both the flattest continent and, except for Antarctica, the driest. Seen from the air, its vast plains, sometimes the colour of dried blood, more often tawny like a lion’s skin, may seem to be one huge des
Under New Zealand, there lies a vast continent on the sea floor. Once part of the same land mass as Antarctica and Australia, the lost continent of Zealandia broke off 85 million years ago and eventually sank below the ocean, where it stayed largely hidden for centuries. Now, maps reveal ...
(Antarctica) forcing. On millennial timescales, both ice sheets have tipping points at or slightly above the 1.5–2.0 °C threshold; for Greenland, this may lead to irreversible mass loss due to the surface mass balance–elevation feedback, whereas for Antarctica, this could result in a ...
Mass changeGreenlandAntarcticaWe construct long-term time series of Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet mass change from satellite gravity measurements. A statistical reconstruction approach is developed based on a principal component analysis (PCA) to combine high-resolution spatial modes from the Gravity...
“Don’t you know there are termites starving in Antarctica” says Roberto’s mother, who’s upset that the young termite is playing with his food – wood. (He builds a tower out of the pancake-shaped slices of wood that he’s served for breakfast, and he dreams of becoming an archite...
(w.e.), and +1.5, +1.7 and +1.6 °C, respectively; Fig.2and Supplementary Figs.14and15). Likewise, a slowdown in mass loss from Icelandic, Scandinavian and Eastern Greenland glaciers was observed over the last 5–10 years in a recent global-2and regional-scale study18and was ...
通读全文,尤其是第一段的“Earth’s great ice sheets, Greenland and Antarctica, are now losing mass six times faster than they were in the 1990s because of warming conditions.(由于气候变暖,地球上的大冰原,格陵兰岛和南极洲,现在的消失下降速度是上世纪90年代的六倍)”可知,本文主要讲的是格陵兰岛和...
