From Natalie Pawelski CNN Sci-Tech (CNN) A new study indicates that glaciers in Alaska are melting faster than previously thought, providing further evidence of global warming, researchers said Thursday. 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 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."

New Report: Climate change and global glacier decline ( download , PDF: 267 KB). Literature references for the report ( download , RTF: 528 KB) Glaciers are ancient rivers of compressed snow that creep through the landscape, shaping the planet's surface. They are the earth's largest freshwater reservoir, collectively covering an area the size of South America. Glaciers have been retreating worldwide since the end of the Little Ice Age (around 1850), but in recent decades glaciers have begun melting at rates that cannot be explained by historical trends. Although only a small fraction of the planet's permanent ice is stored outside of Greenland and Antarctica, these glaciers are extremely important because they respond rapidly to climate change and their loss directly affects human populations and ecosystems. Continued, widespread melting of glaciers during the coming century will lead to floods, water shortages for millions of people, and sea level rise threatening and destroying coastal communities and habitats.

GLACIER OF NEPAL General Info Map of Nepal Natural Features Terai ... World Heritage Glaciers The Himalayan region abounds in glaciers. Most of the big glaciers lie in the eastern Himalayas. As the western Himalayas receive only a small amount of rainfall, barring the formation of vast snowfields, the source of some of the big rivers of Nepal are in fact glaciers. Nepal's largest glacier lies in the Mahalangur and the Kumbhakarna ranges. Khumbu is the biggest glacier and Langtang the longest. Kanchenjunga, Yalung, Nupchu and Lamtang are some other glaciers belonging to the eastern Himalayas. Tukche and Hidden valley glaciers belong to the central Himalayas but these are comparatively small. Eating into the land along their course, the glaciers have been partly responsible for changing the Himalayan landscape, and for evolving various geo-patterns ranging from big cirques and rock basins to hanging valleys and morainic ridges.

Glaciers: Are They Retreating or Advancing? Glacier research presented May 26, 1998, in Boston at the conference of the American Geophysical Union, and reported the following day by the Associated Press Wire Service, raised a number of questions. The research, which claims to see an effect on glaciers from anthropogenic global warming, was done by Professor Mark Meier and colleagues at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Here is the AP story, followed by our comments. See also the link to a related story on the Agence-France Presse Wire, May 24, 1998. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Wednesday, 27 May, 1998 "Global warming speeding up glaciers' melting" BOSTON (AP) All of the glaciers in Glacier National Park in Montana will be gone in the next 50 to 70 years, according to researchers who have been measuring the rate that glaciers are melting around the world. Those glaciers are melting faster than scientists had previously thought, according to the study by geologist Mark Meier, who presented his findings at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union in Boston on Tuesday. "The glaciers are receding and they're becoming thinner, and you can see this," Meier said, placing the blame squarely on global warming. The melting ice caps are contributing to rising sea levels that lead to beach erosion and more severe inland storms, he said. And rivers are jumping their banks more often as a result.

Glaciers Where summer melting is less than the winter snowfall, the annual addition of snow results in the growth of a glacier. Snow is "fluffy" but its frilly appendages are broken through blowing, partial melting and refreezing, and through compaction, as more layers of snow are added above. Through these processes snowflakes become ice granules called firn . As time passes and compaction continues, the firn recrystallizes into solid ice - an interlocking network of ice crystals (like an igneous texture). Glacial ice is blue. Ice is brittle (breaks when under stress) at its surface, but under pressure (under 50 meters of ice) it behaves plastically (it flows under stress). Glaciers are flowing streams of ice. The upper brittle surface of a glacier forms large open cracks known as crevasses as the glacier bends to flow over a bump in the bedrock. Grit and gravel and even large boulders are incorporated into the base of a glacier which grind away at the bedrock over which the glacier flows, resulting in glacial striations . Glacial striations show the direction the glacier flowed. At the end of a glacier, where it is melting as fast as it is being supplies by ice from upstream, large quantities of unsorted sediments (clay, silt, sand, gravel, boulders) are heaped into

Atlantis History: Descendants Of The Legendary Lost Continent Of Atlantis Accounts for the origins and history of Atlantis including references to Plato, glaciers, and protoEuropean civilization, as well as a theory of who the descendants of Atlantis are in today's time. http://www.atlantishistory.com/

A. QUESTIONS AND SUGGESTED ANSWERS 1.WHERE WAS THE LOST ISLAND OF ATLANTIS LOCATED? ACCORDING TO PLATO, THE ISLAND OF ATLANTIS, WHICH WAS LARGER THAN LYBIA AND ASIA COMBINED, WAS LOCATED BEYOND THE PILLARS OF HERACLES. A) AN ISLAND OF THIS SIZE CERTAINLY WOULD NOT FIT ANY PLACE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. B) AN ISLAND OF THIS SIZE WOULD FIT IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN WEST AND BEYOND THE PILLARS OF HERACLES. HOWEVER, THE OCEAN FLOOR THERE IS TOO DEEP AND ACCORDING TO BATHYMETRIC MEASUREMENTS, THERE ARE NO TRACES THAT SUCH AN ISLAND EVER EXISTED. (EXCEPT IF THE ATLANTEANS HAD DISCOVERED THE SECRETS OF GRAVITY AS SOME DREAMERS LIKE TO IMAGINE, AND DURING SOME FAILED EXPERIMENT THE WHOLE ISLAND WAS FLUNG OUT INTO SPACE). C) ANOTHER POSSIBLE LOCATION, AS SOME SCHOLARS SUGGEST, IS THE CELTIC SHELF. THE AREA IS LARGE ENOUGH, BUT IT IS VERY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WOULD BE AGREEABLE FOR SUCH A GREAT CIVILIZATION TO FLOURISH. ONE MUST CONSIDER THE PREVAILING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND THE PROXIMITY OF THE ICE SHEET. D) THE WATERS IN THE WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN ARE DEEP, AS ARE THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN WATERS WEST TO THE ISLAND OF CRETE.

The park's glaciers More than 40 glaciers descend from the Harding Icefield. Those that reach the ocean are called tidewater glaciers; those that descend only partway down mountain slopes are called hanging glaciers. The dark stripe visible in the glacier near the bottom of this page is pulverized rock pushed up between converging glaciers. Exit Glacier, at right, can be reached by turning off the Seward Highway at Milepost 3.7 and following a gravel road several miles to a parking lot. Trails from the parking lot lead to the face of the glacier. The Harding Icefield can be reached in an all-day hike from the base of Exit Glacier. Facilities at Exit Glacier include a picnic ground and campground as well as a public use cabin that is open only during the winter. The cabin is accessible only by ski, dog sled or snowmachine. Information about reserving it can be obtained from Elsie, at 907-224-3175 Mondays through Fridays. About the park. Enter the virtual version of the park.

177. Andean Ice Cap, Kilimanjaro Ice Fields Disappearing Tropical glaciers in the Andes of Peru and the Mt. Kilimanjaro ice fields As a result of recent global warming, many tropical glaciers around the globe http://unisci.com/stories/20011/0219011.htm

Home Search Andean Ice Cap, Kilimanjaro Ice Fields Disappearing Tropical glaciers in the Andes of Peru and the Mt. Kilimanjaro ice fields of East Africa are retreating at such an alarming rate that, if current warming trends continue, they could be completely ice free within 10-20 years, says glaciologist Professor Lonnie Thompson from Ohio State University. According to Professor Thompson, Quelccaya in Peru, the only true ice cap in the tropics, retreated 32 times faster in the last two years (1998-2000) than during the 20 years from 1963 to 1983, and the Mt. Kilimanjaro ice fields have retreated by at least 80% since 1912. "As a result of recent global warming, many tropical glaciers around the globe may disappear completely by 2020. Apart from the dramatic impact this will have on local communities, it is also a potent sign that the Earth is undergoing enormous changes," he says. Professor Thompson's work forms part of a large international effort, under the auspices of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP), to understand how the global environment is changing. According to Dr. Will Steffen, Executive Director of the IGBP Secretariat based in Stockholm, Professor Thompson's work adds to the growing body of evidence of a rapidly changing earth.

Skip Maine state header navigation Agencies Online Services Web Policies ... Help State Search: MAINE DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION Maine Geological Survey Geologic Site of the Month - August 1999 Seboomook Lake, Maine Figure 1 The rocks of Maine record a rich history of geological events that formed our landscape. Four hundred million years ago, Maine was a vastly different place, with an ocean covering most of the northern part of the State, massive young mountains along the present-day coast, and volcanos punctuating all. Sand and mud materials eroded from the young mountains were deposited by ocean currents in layer upon layer. Lava erupted from fissures into the seawater to form oddly shaped deposits within the sand and mud. All of these features are well exposed on Seboomook Lake, a long narrow lake a few miles northwest of Moosehead Lake. Figure 1 is a simplified geologic map of the Seboomook Lake area that shows where the major types of rocks (pillow basalt, thickly bedded sandstone, thinly bedded slate, and thinly bedded sandstone) are found in the area. Fortunately, these rocks have not been subjected to the high levels of heat and pressure that have affected many areas of the state; features can still be readily seen that tell us most of the rocks originally formed as layers of sediment. If they had been metamorphosed (heated and squeezed) to the degree that rocks in other parts of the state have been, those features would have been wiped out. Around the western part of Seboomook Lake there are some volcanic rocks (Canada Falls Member of the Frontenac Formation). They formed when fissures opened in the ocean floor and molten rock (lava) spewed onto the bottom of the sea. How do we know this? Within the volcanic rocks are distinctive shapes, called pillows by geologists, which form when lava is suddenly cooled by contact with cold water. The water immediately cools and hardens the outer skin of lava into a rind, but the pressure of the eruption pushes more lava out until a partially hardened blobby shape (pillow) forms and breaks off. The process continues as more lava erupts, in this way forming a deposit made up almost entirely of pillows.
