Sentence examples for of ice mass from inspiring English sources

With the climate once again changing at least as rapidly as during post-glacial times, we are already seeing a seismic response to the loss of ice mass in Alaska, and a rise in the frequency of giant landslides as a reaction to heat waves across mountainous regions.

These results reveal the loss of ice mass in West Antarctica rather than East Antarctica.

Bluer areas, near Greenland, reflect a loss of ice mass, counterintuitively* resulting in a sea level drop.

Greenland lost 7,500 gigatons of ice mass over the course of the 20th century, in large part due to human-driven climate change.

Accurate topographic surveys are particularly relevant as they reflect the geometric evolution of ice masses.

The physical processes involved in the interaction of ice masses with offshore structures are described.

This dependence quantifies the competing influences of unconstrained spreading behaviour of ice flow and bed topography on the profile shape of ice masses, which becomes more parabolic as span increases (with C∗ and C̃ tending to low values of 2.5 3.3 m1/2).

The role of ice masses within the Earth's climate system and in landscape change is increasingly being recognised within regions that are either currently glaciated or were glaciated during the geological past.

The remarkable feature of our new map is that it indicates very accurately right off that there were four or more generations of ice masses, which in the past 800,000 years moved from the East Siberian Sea in a northeasterly direction far into the deep Arctic Ocean," said Niessen, the lead study author.

It might be applied for improved data coverage in notoriously difficult-to-forecast avalanche paths or in regions with permanent snow covers, such as the accumulation zones of ice masses like glaciers and ice sheets.

"Now both pressure and noise gets worse and worse; the ship shakes, and I feel as if I myself were being gently lifted with the stern-rail, where I stand gazing out at the welter of ice-masses that resemble giant snakes writhing and twisting their great bodies out there under the quiet starry sky".
