T idal pressures have been observed pushing (relatively) warm water under the Thwaites Glacier, exposing a much larger area of ice to warming pressure. The observations indicate a catastrophic sea level rise could be coming much sooner than almost anyone is preparing for. Rising temperatures are contributing to higher sea levels by making the existing water in the ocean expand, as well as by melting alpine glaciers and the Greenland ice sheet. All of these are virtually certain to increase, and spell trouble for coastal cities worldwide. There ...

Abstract : The heat and ice balances of a temperate sub-Antarctic cirque glacier were measured through the 1973–74 melt season at an altitude midway between the climatic firn limit and the snout. The melt calculated from mean daily measurements at a single level of net radiation, wind-speed, temperature, and humidity agreed with that observed at nearby budget stakes. In the central ablation zone, radiation provided (54 ± 6)% and sensible fluxes (46 ± 6)% of the heat income through the summer, which was exceptionally warm and sunny. Latent-h ...
A consequence of the air temperature and precipitation increases at Wolverine Glacier was a change to a generally positive mass balance after 1976. Although these observations in the...

Mass loss at the surface of a glacier is governed by the surface energy balance between the atmosphere and the glacier (Cuffey and Paterson, 2010). Turbulent fluxes are often considered...
Air temperature, precipitation, and glacier mass balance can be highly variable in both time and space. Trends can be detected if some of the noise in the record is ignored first taking...
