Sentence examples for increasing glacier from inspiring English sources

Conversely, landslide material deposited onto ice modifies glacier behavior, protecting ice from ablation, usually causing advances and hugely increasing glacier sediment delivery.

Positive trends in the discharge from the headwater catchments of the Tarim River were reported by Duethmann et al. (2015), Krysanova et al. (2015), and Kundzewicz et al. (2015) who also attributed these changes primarily to the increasing glacier melt, but highlighted their inability to quantify water withdrawal and its contribution to the long-term trends as a limitation of these studies.

And if you get more precipitation, it would fall as snow above the freezing level, and you could wind up with increasing glacier mass at higher elevations".

While increased glacier melt initially increases water flows, ongoing retreat leads to reduced meltwater from the glaciers during the warmer months.

Since sea-level rise will speed up after the end of the century due to increased glacier and ice sheet melting, the flooding we face in this century is just the tip of the iceberg.

It is possible to increase glacier mass balance using a 0.004 m thin cover material.

Temperatures are projected to rise, which will lead to increased glacier melting and loss of glacial storage capacity, resulting initially in higher contributions to flow, followed by a gradual decrease.

This really was unexpected: global average temperatures had not dropped, greenhouse emissions had continued to increase, glaciers had continued to melt.

This is a systemic trend with loss in mass equating to loss in thickness, which leads to increasing retreat the glaciers are not only retreating, but they are also becoming much thinner.

Increase in glacier lakes due to rise in temperature should also be a serious matter of concern.

The supply of fine sediments to this proglacial region is dependent on meltwater suspended sediment loads which are predicted to increase during glacier retreat; reworking of the floodplain during ice retreat may also make more material available for aeolian transport.
