Ponding on the Ice Shelf

Glaciers flow together and march out to sea along the Amery Ice Shelf in this satellite image of Antarctica. Three glaciers — flowing from the top, left, and bottom of the image — meet just to the right of center and pass from the continental bedrock onto the ice-covered ocean. The ice shelf is recognizable by its plethora of meltwater ponds, which appear as bright blue areas. Each austral summer, meltwater gathers in low-lying regions on the ice, potentially destabilizing the ice shelf through fracture and drainage. This region near the ice shelf’s grounding line is particularly prone to ponding. Regions further afield (right, beyond the image) are colder and drier, often allowing meltwater to refreeze.

Melting in a Spin

The world’s largest iceberg A23a is spinning in a Taylor column off the Antarctic coast. This poster looks at a miniature version of the problem with a fluorescein-dyed ice slab slowly melting in water. On the left, the model iceberg is melting without rotating. The melt water stays close to the base until it forms a narrow, sinking plume. In the center, the ice rotates, which moves the detachment point outward. The wider plume is turbulent compared to the narrow, non-rotating one. At higher rotation speeds (right), the plume is even wider and more turbulent, causing the fastest melting rate.

Nature: Warming of +1.5 °C is too high for polar ice sheets

"...Mass loss from ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica has quadrupled since the 1990s and now represents the dominant source of global mean sea-level rise from the cryosphere. This has raised concerns about their future stability and focussed attention on the global mean temperature thresholds that might trigger more rapid retreat or even collapse..."

Terrifying Maps Reveal What Earth Will Look Like If All the Land Ice Melts

If all of Earth’s land ice melts, the results could be catastrophic. Rising seas would submerge cities worldwide, displacing millions of people.

Farmer’s market, got some “cheesy taco” flavored popcorn and a chocolate/ mocha whoopie pie. That’s still in the fridge bc I found the cup of Mister Softee was just five bucks. Seen dripping down my hand in this quick photo. I made a trench or moat to buy time to eat the tip in the sun.
The #taco #popcorn is pretty good, actually. It’s heavy on #paprika but I saw that coming.

Wang concludes that the #scientific community should pay more attention to such coastal #glacier #basins. “Complete #disintegration” of the four glaciers in East Antarctica could trigger global #sea #level rise of more than 7m, he says.

Arctic Melt

Temperatures in the Arctic are rising faster than elsewhere, triggering more and more melting. Photographer Scott Portelli captured a melting ice shelf protruding into the ocean in this aerial image. Across the top of the frozen landscape, streams and rivers cut through the ice, leading to waterfalls that flood the nearby ocean with freshwater. This meltwater will do more than raise ocean levels; it changes temperature and salinity in these regions, disrupting the convection that keeps our planet healthy. (Image credit: S.
