Since the end of the Little Ice Age (about 1850), glaciers have been melting steadily in most parts the world. This loss in glacier mass has been greatest in small alpine-type glaciers (e.g. eastern Rocky Mountains - see Figure 1 above). Current research indicates that global warming may be playing a significant part in this meltdown, as the current rate of glacier shrinkage is broadly consistent with estimated anthropogenic greenhouse forcing (a few Wm ). More recent results from studies in the mid 1990s (compared to previous studies carried out in the 1950s and 1960s) indicate that the Columbia Icefield glaciers (e.g. Athabasca, Saskatchewan glaciers) have further thinned and retreated dramatically, and that an acceleration in the flow (below the accumulation area) has occurred. Various methods have been employed to measure the "health" of glaciers, among them being mass balance calculations and interferometry. The mass balance of a glacier is the difference between the mass that the glacier accumulates in winter (from snow) and that which is lost by melting (ablation) during the summer. It involves detailed in-situ observation and scientific monitoring of a glacier over several seasons. The photo below shows a cryospheric scientist in the field measuring glacial properties in order to calculate a mass-balance value.

Extractions: Home Games Glossary Bulletin Board ... SKC Homepage Glaciers Ice sheets and glaciers form the largest component of perennial ice on this planet. Over 75% of the world's fresh water is presently locked up in these frozen reservoirs. The Antarctic Ice Sheet is more complicated than the Greenland Ice Sheet. In the past three million years, there have been four glacial periods, each followed by an interglacial period. The most recent glacial period began about 75,000 years ago. The Antarctic Ice Sheets outlet glaciers include the steep and heavily creviced Beordmore Glacier, one of the worlds longest outlet. A glacier is a huge mass of ice that flows slowly over land. They form in the cold polar regions and in high mountains. The low temperatures in these places enable large amounts of snow to build up and turn inti ice. Most glaciers range in thickness from about 91 to 3,000 meters. Glaciers are formed when more snow falls during the winter than melts and evaporates in summer. The extra snow gradually builds up in layers. Its increasing weight causes the snow crystals under the surface to become compact, grainlike pellets. At depths of 15 meters or more, the pellets are further compressed into thick crystals of ice. These crystals combine to form glacial ice. The ice eventually becomes so thick that it begins to move under the pressure of its own great weight. Huge moving sheets of ice are wearing down parts of the earth's surface. In Antarctica and Greenland, ice covers all but the tips of the highest mountains. These ice sheets are located in Greenland, Antarctica and other frozen parts of North and South Pole. The ice sheet that covers much of Greenland is growing smaller because of a gradual rise in temperature in the area since the early 1900s.

Extractions: August 21, 2002 New surveys from satellites and aircraft document an alarming acceleration in the melting of glaciers around the world. Like a canary in a coal mine, the dwindling of the glaciers is visible evidence that the earth really is getting hotter. "Receding and wasting glaciers are a chief telltale sign that global climate change is real and accelerating," said Jeffrey Kargel, a glacier expert with the U.S. Geological Survey in Flagstaff, Arizona. Most of Earth's 160,000 glaciers have been slowly shrinking and thinning for more than a century as the climate warms up from both natural causes and human activity. But scientists say the melt rate has accelerated dramatically since the mid-1990s, which was the hottest decade in a thousand years, according to data from ancient ice cores and tree rings. A glacier in the Peruvian Andes, Qori Kalis, is losing as much ice in one week as it used to surrender in a year, according to Lonnie Thompson, a geologist at the Byrd Polar Research Center at Ohio State University in Columbus.
Antarctic Glaciers Surged After 1995 Ice-Shelf Collapse
Scientists studying the eightyear-old collapse of a massive chunk of Antarctica s Larsen Ice Shelf say the event spurred inland glaciers to surge seaward.
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/03/0306_030306_glaciersurge.html

Extractions: March 6, 2003 When a huge floating shelf of ice hinged to the northern end of the Antarctic Peninsula disintegrated in January 1995, several glaciers that were backed up into it surged towards the sea, according to a pair of Argentinean researchers. The discovery marks the first positive evidence that glacial surge follows an ice shelf collapse. It may lead scientists to revive the previously discarded theory that ice shelves acts as dams that prevent inland glaciers from slipping into the seas. De Angelis and colleague Pedro Skvarca made their discovery through analysis of airborne mapping data, satellite imagery, and flights over the area of the peninsula affected by the collapse of the northern section of the Larsen Ice Shelf. They report their findings in the March 7 issue of the journal Science.

Extractions: Glaciers When the last ice age climaxed about 14,000 years ago a continental ice sheet nearly a mile thick covered most areas of the North Cascades. The alpine glaciers you see today are comparatively young, but they continue to grind, sculpt and reshape the landscape. The North Cascades are the most densely glaciated mountains in the contiguous United States. Glaciers form when more snow accumulates each winter than melts and evaporates during warmer weather. The enormous weight of that accumulation recrystallizes the snow into ice, and the glacier begins to flow downhill. Glaciers can flow several feet per year, and it is this movement that distinguishes glaciers from non-moving ice fields. Glaciers are vitally important to the region's ecology and hydrology. They influence vegetation growth; move and carve rock; and add minerals to the ecosystem. During times of year when little rain falls, meltwater accounts for all the water in some streams.
