About this trail:
The massive ice sheet that is roughly the size of Mexico (700,000 square miles) and about 2 miles thick have been since the record setting in 2005 satellites recorded melting in areas that have never melted in the past 27 years.
***Can a rapid change in glaciers and ice sheets and hence sea level rise cause an abrupy climate change?
FACTS & UNCERTAINTIES
*glaciers are loosing mass and are the largest cryospheric Slr contributor
*Rapid changes in marginal regions the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets show acceleration and thinning
*No ice-sheet model is currently capable of capturing the glacier speedups in Antartica or Greenland that have been observe over the last decade(ozone hole analogy
