doi:10.3200/SATS.46.2.6-10The authors introduced polar science in a fourthgrade classroom by means of 3 hands-on activities that addressed (1) the melting of glaciers and ice, (2) the differences between the North and the South Pole, and (3) the geography and landforms of Antarctica. ...
The worry is that the ice in Antarctica might melt(融化), changing everything. Even though the Earth was warmer in the past, scientists hope it won't get too warm too quickly. The hidden landscape is quite far from the edge of the ice sheet, giving some hope that it might not melt ...

It took eight years to build the field camp and to collect the original ice core, because the harsh Antarctica conditions allow only a 60-day window each year in which to work. That task was completed in January 2012. "This year was significant because of the completion of additional field...
Last week in Geography, we learnt that if all the ice in Antarctica melted, a great wave, thirty metres high, would hit our city.上周的地理课上,我们了解到,如果南极洲的冰川融化,将会有30米高的巨浪袭击我们的城市。I started to worry. What would happen then?我开始担忧了。那时会发生什么事情...
More than 40 percent of Antarctica’s ice shelves have reduced in the past 25 years, potentially accelerating sea level rise by allowing more landice to flow into the ocean. 【小题1】 They play a critical role in slowing the flow of ice on land into the ocean by essentially acting as a...
"That's just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak," said lead author Eric Rignot, Donald Bren Professor and chair of Earth system science at UCI. "As the Antarctic ice sheet continues to melt away, we expect multi-meter sea level rise from Antarctica in the coming centuries." ...
As our planet heats up, large ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica will melt, potentially triggering several feet of increased sea level rise. If the entire Antarctic ice sheet melts into the ocean, it could lead to dozens of feet of sea level rise, likely enough to wipe out entire ...
They found Antarctic ice was more prevalent back then than we’d believed. One of the biggest potential dangers of increasing climate change is sea level rise caused by the melting of the polar ice caps. As our planet heats up, large ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica will melt, ...
First, China and Europe should deepen cooperation in green development in the face of increasing extreme weather events. Devastating forest fires in Canada, the US, Greece and Spain, the melting of ice in Antarctica, and severe floods and typhoons in many countries are some of the examples of...
