| When the Earth is viewed from space on a cloudless day, all that can be seen are the edges of land, sea and icecaps. |
|
| He was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1995 for his work on the hole in the ozone layer above the polar icecaps. |
|
| It warns of adverse consequences such as the melting of glaciers and polar icecaps, leading to rising sea levels. |
|
| Ellesmere, Baffin, Devon and Axel Heiberg islands contain huge icecaps which range up to one kilometre thick. |
|
| The melting of the Antarctic and Greenland icecaps and the flooding of Bangladesh could not happen until the end of the next century, if at all. |
|
| Describe factors that affect glaciers and polar icecaps and describe their consequent effects on the environment. |
|
| They help to capture water in icecaps or glacier ice, and store it perhaps for many centuries. |
|
| Yet, increasingly rapid global changes, from the melting of the icecaps to growing energy and resource demand, are challenging this objective. |
|
| This is due primarily to thermal expansion and loss of mass from glaciers and icecaps. |
|
| Students should be encouraged to identify new questions that arise from their study of glaciers and polar icecaps. |
|
| Articles forecasting the disappearance of the Greenland and Antarctica icecaps and even a new Flood abound in the press. |
|
| Temperatures are rising, icecaps and glaciers are melting, and extreme weather is more frequent and intense. |
|
| With the heat engine working harder, the winds and, therefore, the waves, are driven to higher intensity, too, and more of their sodium-laden spume lands on the icecaps. |
|
| Many people associate global warming with the melting of the polar icecaps. |
|
| Uninhabitable icecaps and glaciers comprise about half of this area, mostly in Greenland. |
|
| Students can, for example, pose questions related to how specific areas in the Atlantic region may be affected by fluctuations in the size of the polar icecaps and glaciers. |
|
| As any ethical tour operator can tell you, these days tsunamis and melting icecaps are seen not so much as unalleviated catastrophes as sustainable holidays you haven't yet taken. |
|
| Instead, it suggests that frozen CO2 in surface frost and Mars's icecaps would warm up and become a translucent ice layer during the planet's spring. |
|
| It has produced data which will be invaluable in forecasting the effects of melting icecaps and has developed new tools for use in the very specific Arctic conditions. |
|
| Perhaps most concerning are rising sea levels triggered by the melting icecaps. |
|
|
|
| Ireland has been inhabited since 8000 BC when the climate had become more hospitable following the retreat of the polar icecaps of the latest ice age. |
|
| Several current trends demonstrate that global warming is having a direct impact upon rising sea levels, the melting of icecaps and other significant world wide climate changes. |
|
| Generally, glaciers flow in one direction, usually down a valley, while icefields and their larger equivalents, icecaps, flow outward in many directions. |
|
| Lastly, if the disintegration of the icecaps of Greenland and West Antarctica accelerates, we have no idea whether it will happen gradually or whether the icecaps will suddenly subside. |
|
| Month after month the Earth has grown incrementally hotter, a development that finds expression in coral bleaching, hurricanes, melting icecaps and protracted droughts. |
|
| The warming of the earth's climate is projected to cause changes in precipitation patterns, more frequent storms and sea levels to rise as glaciers and icecaps melt. |
|
| The Arctic islands contain many glaciers and also have many large icecaps. |
|
| It's about being interested in the oceans, in the role of the icecaps and in the part played by the atmosphere in the Polar Regions. It's also about how all these elements relate to questions regarding climate change. |
|
| Sea levels drop due to the removal of large volumes of water above sea level in the icecaps. |
|
| Caught on CD and bonus DVD, this is an intimate show so warm they could melt the icecaps. |
|
| Climate change might have some effects a littler closer to home than the polar icecaps. |
|
| A teamof 15 artists spent twomonths working on the sculpture to draw attention to the plight of the Arctic mammal and the impact of global warming on the icecaps. |
|
| The Sharks and IceCaps will complete their weekend series when they meet here at 7 tonight. |
|
| Connor Hellebuyck made 41 saves for the IceCaps, who lost their third straight game by a 1-0 score. |
