The day we went, there was about 35-36 cubic meters of water per second going down to the Pacific Ocean. When accommodating rainfall or snow melt, the regular flow is 1000 cubic meters per second. We boated on a braided river, a wide riverbed with small streams criss crossing. We’ve...
【题目】If humans ever settle on Mars, they will need water. There is just one problem--there seems to be only huge sheets of ice. Luckily, we know how to drill(钻孔) ice for water.Such methods are already used in Antarctica, and researchers now think they could get them to work on...
As I understand it after a cursory reading, Hansen’s paper is advancing a hypothesis–a ‘what if’ scenario that involves melted water from glaciers and the great ice caps of Greenland and Antarctica, resulting in a cascade of unfortunate events leading to… increased melting from glaciers an...
During the same period, drylands expanded by more than 1.6 million square miles and now cover more than 40% of the planet (excluding Antarctica). Drylands are regions characterized by low rainfall and moisture, resulting in scarce water and arid land. Drier land can result in insufficie...
Forecasters say the region’s sea ice will dwindle to a strip above Greenland and Canada. There, polar bears and others will fight to survive.
Something Strange In Antarctica Boggart Blog Original, 15 January, 2014 On days when there is no interesting news the only thing to do is find a conspiracy theory. Actually it this post is not about a 'conspiracy' but followers of the cult of Scientism will insist it is. ...
While this is likely the largest ice calving that we've ever seen from the Brunt Ice Shelf, going back to 1915, it isn't necessarily all that big compared to the other icebergs we've seen calve off of Antarctica. For co...
In Antarctica, which has a greater average elevation than any other continent, most of the land outside of the mountain ranges can be considered plateaus. Covered by thick ice, many of these areas have no names. Some plateaus around the world exist at such great heights that their climate ...
What caused the ice age to melt? What do geologists think happened during the last ice age? How much ice is melting each year in Antarctica? What happens when Arctic Sea ice melts? What was the ice age called? What happened at the end of the last ice age? What is happening to Arctic...
