Earth’s Glaciers Are Melting at Accelerated Rate

A new study published in the journal Nature finds glaciers are melting at an accelerating rate, causing a major rise in sea levels — two centimeters this century alone. Over the past decade, over one-third more ice melted than the previous decade. Rising sea levels are leading to increasingly severe flooding for hundreds of millions of people in coastal communities.

Glacial Melting Is Accelerating, Driving Sea Level Rise and Depleting Freshwater: Study

Accelerating glacial melting is causing the world’s oceans to rise year after year and is causing a loss of regional freshwater, new research led by scientists at the University of Zürich shows.  The world’s glaciers have been losing 273 billion tonnes of ice mass annually, causing oceans to rise by nearly a millimeter per year, which has been accelerating in recent years, the study finds.  “To put this in perspective, the 273 billion tonnes of …

Climate change: Glaciers melting at an alarming rate

Glaciers that cover the mountainous regions of the world are important reserves for freshwater, providing resources for drinking water, irrigation, and hydroelectric power. However, they are melting dramatically as a result of climate change and are causing sea levels to rise at an ever increasing rate. That has now been proven by a new large international study in which a research team from… Source
