LiveScience.com: Cool Science Galleries Antarctic Glaciers Melting Rapidly By Robert Roy Britt LiveScience Senior Writer posted: 21 April 2005 02:00 pm ET A new study of glaciers in a portion of the Antarctic finds 84 percent of them have retreated over the past 50 years in response to a warmer climate. The work was based on 2,000 aerial photos, some taken in the 1940s, and satellite images. The climate in the region has warmed by more than 4.5 degrees Fahrenheit (2.5 Celsius) in the last 50 years, the scientists said. "The widespread retreat of the glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsula over the last 50 years was largely caused by climate change," said David Vaughan of the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge. "Are humans responsible? We can't say for sure, but we are one step closer to answering this important question." Glacier Facts Front of a melting glacier.

Scientists have long warned that global warming when heat-trapping gases force atmospheric temperatures to rise could eventually raise sea levels to a dangerous point by melting ice sheets and glaciers. "The whole issue of global climate change is important to everyone," said glacier expert Anthony Arendt of the University of Alaska at Fairbanks. "The whole issue of sea-level change affects people who live near the coast quite directly. Just small changes in sea level can cause very large incursions of water up along the coast and can destroy valuable property there. It can move people away from their homes."

Home About Alaska Scenes Glaciers in Alaska Icefields and an estimated 100,000 glaciers cover 5 percent of Alaska's surface and they are easily viewed by visitors to Juneau, Valdez, Whittier, Seward , Anchorage or the Matanuska Valley. Cruises that take visitors close to the face of tidewater glaciers offer visitors the opportunity of watching them calve icebergs into the sea. Columbia Glacier , one of the largest tidewater glaciers in the state, can be viewed from boats departing from Valdez or Whittier. A terminal moraine keeps boats some distance from the glacier's face. The glacier can also sometimes be seen from the air on flights between Seattle or Juneau and Anchorage. On flights north, request a window seat on the right side of the plane. The Harding Icefield in Kenai Fjords National Park covers 300 square miles. Its tidewater glaciers can be viewed from tour boats that depart from Seward's small boat harbor.The face of an inland glacier, Exit Glacier, can be approached on trails from a parking lot at the end of Exit Glacier Road, which intersects the Seward Highway just north of Seward. Portage Glacier Mendenhall Glacier , just north of Juneau, is the most accessible of the glaciers in the 1,500-square-mile Juneau Icefield. It can be reached on the Glacier Highway. Other glaciers in the area can be viewed on boat or flightseeing tours or by helicopter.

MOUNT KILIMANJARO, Tanzania (CNN) Fires set by farmers to clear land for crops are hastening glacial melting on Mount Kilimanjaro, and one scientist predicts that all snow will be gone from Africa's highest peak by 2020. The melting, a loss of about 300 cubic meters a month, is irreversible and will have devastating impact on the terrain and on tourism. Each year, about 10,000 tourists scale Kilimanjaro's famous peak. Global warming makes the melting inevitable, but it would be slower if farmers stopped the burning which poses additional threats to the forests and ecosystem.

By monitoring the change in size of glaciers around the world, scientists can learn about global climate change. (Photograph by Klaus J.

79. DAAC Study: Sizing Up The Earth's Glaciers More than 110 glaciers have disappeared from Montana’s Glacier National Park For example, while most glaciers in Glacier National Park are retreating, http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Study/GLIMS/

June 22, 2004 Title graphic image: South Cascade Glacier in the Washington Cascade Mountains, in 1928, 1979, and 2000 (Images courtesy of the National Snow and Ice Data Center) The GLIMS team uses high-resolution satellite images from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) instrument and the Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), archived at the Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC), to track the size and movement of glaciers. For the first time, scientists will be able to assess and track glacial change on a global scale through a worldwide database of glacier information. This ASTER image shows the lakes left behind by retreating glaciers in the Bhutan-Himalaya. (Image courtesy of Jeffrey Kargel, USGS/NASA JPL/AGU) Click here for more information. This ASTER image, acquired on July 23, 2001, shows Aletsch Glacier, the largest glacier of Europe. (Image by Earth Observatory Team, based on data provided by the ASTER Science Team) As settlements, farming, and tourism extend toward the edges of glaciated regions, melting glaciers and the avalanches and floods that often accompany rapid melt increasingly threaten lives and infrastructure in mountain regions. The ASTER images acquired for the GLIMS project allow researchers to recognize and track changes in glacial hazard indicators such as crevasses, avalanche and debris-flow traces, and glacial lakes.

80. Glaciers: What Types Of Glaciers Are There? These glaciers develop in high mountainous regions, often flowing out of icefields The largest mountain glaciers are found in Arctic Canada, Alaska, http://www.digistar.mb.ca/minsci/geology/types.htm

Types of Glaciers Ice Sheets Found only in Antarctica and Greenland, ice sheets are enormous masses of glacial ice and snow that cover over 50,000 square kilometers. The ice sheet on Antarctica is over 4200 meters thick in some areas, covering nearly all of the land features except the Transantarctic Mountains that poke up above the ice. Ice Shelves Ice shelves occur when ice sheets extend over the sea, floating on the water. In thickness they range from a few hundred meters to over 1000 meters. Ice shelves surround the entire continent of Antarctica. The largest shelf is the Ross Ice Shelf , covering over 500,000 square kilometers. Ice Caps Ice caps are miniature ice sheets, covering less than 50,000 square kilometers. They form primarily in polar and sub-polar regions, occupying high and relatively flat regions. Mountain Glaciers These glaciers develop in high mountainous regions, often flowing out of icefields that span several peaks or even a mountain range. The largest mountain glaciers are found in Arctic Canada, Alaska, the Andes in South America, the Himalayas in Asia, and on Antarctica. The Chickamin Glacier in British Columbia, Canada, is a typical mountain glacier. Several glaciers flow into it, and the landscape is nearly covered with ice and snow.(R.M. Wilson photograph, 1924, DC-A for Glaciology, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado.)
