What marks the farthest advance of a glacier? What happens to the ground underneath a glacier? What are the two types of glaciers? What causes a glacier to grow or recede? Where is Stubai Glacier? Where is the Upsala Glacier located?
Glaciers are moving masses of ice, snow, and debris that slowly advance down mountain slopes much like a river of ice. As glaciers advance along their paths, they push ahead, fracture rock, pick-up debris, and soil as they progress over the terrain....
I live within my world and don’t miss a thing. I see yellows and blues. The blues emitting from ice glaciers are beautiful. The reason being all the wave lengths of visible light enter the glacier / iceberg, but only the blue wave length escapes to be seen. If red light wave escaped...

Our previous analysis of CMIP6 models suggests different pathways of ocean heat to sea ice in the Arctic versus Antarctic (Fig. 1). The aim of this project is to go beyond our identified inter-model statistical relationships, to investigate the underlying physicalcausesof the changes in Antarctic...
First, the total amount of ice that has melted off this huge continental glacier reached a record high, with evidence that the rate of melting is not only high, but much higher than predicted or expected. This is especially worrying because the models climatologists use to predict ice melting...

According to theIPCCby limiting cumulative future global carbon emissions to no more than 500 gigatons, and even then we would have only a two-thirds chance of success: To have a better than two-thirds chance of limiting warming to less than 2°C from pre-industrial levels the total cumulat...
Glacier Deposits This deposit is caused by a glacier when it moves over a landscape. On its way, it collects rocks, soil and other forms of rubble and carries with it. When the glacier retreats, the debris it contains within, deposits in the new landscape. ...
