6 wrz 2023 · The Greenland Ice Sheet has a sea level equivalent ice volume of 7.42 m, and covers 1.2% of the global land surface . Finally, glaciers and ice caps have a sea level equivalent ice volume of 0.32 m, covering just 0.5% of the global land surface (Figure 1).
Ice, which covers 10 percent of Earth's surface, is disappearing rapidly. Select a topic below to see how climate change has affected glaciers, sea ice, and continental ice sheets worldwide. Vital Signs of the Planet: Global Climate Change and Global Warming.
GLIMS is an international project to inventory the world’s glaciers and to create a comprehensive, global database of land ice through repeat surveys. This data collection’s primary data product is the GLIMS Glacier Database.
28 kwi 2021 · Abstract. Glaciers distinct from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are shrinking rapidly, altering regional hydrology 1, raising global sea level 2 and elevating natural hazards 3.
11 lut 2019 · Based on the composite solution, we estimate a global glacier volume of 158 ± 41 × 10 3 km 3 (Table 1). This corresponds to a potential sea level contribution of 0.32 ± 0.08 m when the...
5 maj 2021 · Efficient statistical emulation of melting land ice under various climate scenarios to 2100 indicates a contribution from melting land ice to sea level increase of at least 13 centimetres sea ...
The Global Land Ice Measurements from Space initiative is an international project to inventory the world's estimated 200,000 glaciers and to create a comprehensive, global database of land ice through repeat surveys.
