The glaciers are melting under water. And ‘worse than thought

Underwater Ice melting faster glaciers could be done much than previously thought, according to new research published in the journal Science. It is a dangerous knowledge as melting glaciers on climate change threatens the revival linked above sea level dramatically until the end of the century. to monitor the scientists who worked on the study have developed new methods that involve sonar, recording time and other tools to loosen both the ice below the water surface. For three years they have used the methodology LeConte Glacier in Alaska in the survey. In some places, the researchers of glacial melting 100 times faster than previously recorded, expected theoretical models. “The current theory of an inaccurate wild glacier,” says study author Rebecca Jackson, an oceanographer at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, in a press release. The “we should investigate each very skeptical tidewater glacier on its current use will result.” A 2014 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has found the body of science of the United Nations climate that between 2003 and 2009, glaciers around the world melt caused 0.7 millimeters a year of raising the level of sea. And sea levels could rise more global than 3 meters by 2100, even if the countries meet their common goals of limiting the temperature increase within the framework of the Paris agreement, according to a report of the IPCC. When melting ice from glaciers level higher than previous reports, however, it has shown that most devastating global rise of sea level could help. Scientists have sounded the alarm on the rapid melting of the ice and its potential impact on the rise in sea level, with increasing urgency in recent months. The Arctic is twice as fast as the rest of the world is heated, and earlier this summer, the sea-ice cover in the Arctic at record lows. Scientists expect that the sea ice cover could hit a record low of this year. These individual data points to draw attention to the effects of climate change on the sea level is going on here and now, but can predict scientists, not sure how bad is coming. In part, that’s because we do not yet know the extent to which people rise to the challenge of climate change and reduce emissions, but it is also partly due to the complex nature of complex measurement and modeling of weather systems challenges the correct researchers behind this new study aims to help.
