U.S. scientists from the University of Colorado, using a satellite that measures variations in gravity fields to measure changes in the mass of large-ice covered areas have now determined that melting glaciers and icecaps were causing sea levels to rise an average of 0.06 inches or 1.5 mm a year, according to Reuters. Combine this with the thermal expansion (water
Are the world’s tectonic plates becoming more active? Could the rapid melting of glaciers due to climate change be a cause? The number and severity of earthquakes appears to have increased over the last 30 years in parallel to accelerating glacial melt. Some scientists think that glacier is lightening the load on the earth, allowing its mantle to rebound upwards,
I found this website today, which shows excellent selections of melting glaciers through time-lapse photography. The Extreme Ice Survey website features awesome photography by James Balog. Balog’s time-lapse images cover Alaska, Greenland and Iceland. His work has been featured in National Geographic. Most of the time-lapse selections cover the period from 2007 to 2010.
