Climate change: The state of melting glaciers on sea levels
2021年5月4日 · Glacier melt across the world has accelerated over the past two decades, according to a new study. It found that meltwater accounted for 21% of global sea level rise over the same period. Glaciers are losing more mass than the Greenland or Antarctic ice sheets with annual rates of glacier thinning 'nearly doubled' from 2000 to 2019.

Scientist says glacier melting poses imminent threat to life
2021年11月12日 · Scientist Jemma Wadham says glacier melting poses an imminent threat to life. Glaciers and ice sheets store about 70% of the world’s fresh water. Wadham has spent her career studying glaciers from the Swiss Alps to the Himalayas.
Global glacier change in the 21st century: Every increase in
2023年1月5日 · Based on climate pledges from the Conference of the Parties (COP26), global mean temperature is projected to increase by +2.7°C, which would lead to a sea level contribution of 115 ± 40 millimeters and cause widespread deglaciation in most mid-latitude regions by 2100. Acting now will reduce glacier loss.
