ice mass

However, in northern Pakistan, glaciers are advancing in terms of the snout position and probably also in terms of ice mass.

Greenland is losing ice mass at an increasing rate, dumping more icebergs into the ocean because of warming temperatures, he said.

Many scientists believe that the huge ice mass around the North Pole would completely dissolved in the summer by 2030.

But the rate of snow and ice melting varies considerably, so changes in ice mass come largely from changes in summertime melt.

Others, though they disagree about the reduction of ice mass, say that the losses are unlikely to cause the feared water shortages.

If the ice mass continues to dissolve at the present rates, it will be possible to sail right across the Arctic.

If ice streams speed up and drain the ice faster, ice mass will be lost from Antarctica, and gravity will go down a fraction.

Meanwhile, the ice mass fraction was decreased by increasing the concentration of litchi juice.

Cayambe has lost 40% of its ice mass, possibly 10% in just the last decade.

But since about 1993, satellites have been measuring the height of the ice and, since 2003, ice mass.

Gardner and colleagues used three independent methods to assess ice mass, all of which showed the same trends.

The smaller the ice mass, the faster it responds to climate.

It is also likely that there is ice mass loss in the glaciers below and altitude of 5, 400 metres.
