  2. Cordilleran ice sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordilleran_ice_sheet

    The rapid retreat of the Cordilleran ice sheet is a focus of study by glaciologists seeking to understand the difference in patterns of melting in marine-terminating glaciers, glaciers whose margin extends into open water without seafloor contact, and land-terminating glaciers, with a land or seafloor margin, as scientists believe the western ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleontology_in_New_Mexico

    The location of the state of New Mexico. Paleontology in New Mexico refers to paleontological research occurring within or conducted by people from the U.S. state of New Mexico. The fossil record of New Mexico is exceptionally complete and spans almost the entire stratigraphic column. [1] More than 3,300 different kinds of fossil organisms have ...

  4. Post-glacial rebound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-glacial_rebound

    Post-glacial rebound (also called isostatic rebound or crustal rebound) is the rise of land masses after the removal of the huge weight of ice sheets during the last glacial period, which had caused isostatic depression. Post-glacial rebound and isostatic depression are phases of glacial isostasy (glacial isostatic adjustment, glacioisostasy ...

  5. Marine Isotope Stage 5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_Isotope_Stage_5

    We argue that ice sheets in contact with the ocean are vulnerable to non-linear disintegration in response to ocean warming, and we posit that ice sheet mass loss can be approximated by a doubling time up to sea level rise of at least several meters. Doubling times of 10, 20 or 40 years yield sea level rise of several meters in 50, 100 or 200 ...

    The report said Antarctic sea ice was relatively stable during the period when the data was recorded, but over the past five years had reached record lows, with BAS saying there were more than ...

  7. Sea ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_ice

    Sea ice is a composite material made up of pure ice, liquid brine, air, and salt. The volumetric fractions of these components—ice, brine, and air—determine the key physical properties of sea ice, including thermal conductivity, heat capacity, latent heat, density, elastic modulus, and mechanical strength.

  8. Meltwater pulse 1B - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meltwater_pulse_1B

    Postglacial Sea level Rise Curve and Meltwater Pulses (MWP) Meltwater pulse 1B (MWP1b) is the name used by Quaternary geologists, paleoclimatologists, and oceanographers for a period of either rapid or just accelerated post-glacial sea level rise that some hypothesize to have occurred between 11,500 and 11,200 calendar years ago at the beginning of the Holocene and after the end of the Younger ...

  9. Bandera Volcano Ice Cave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandera_Volcano_Ice_Cave

    Bandera Volcano Ice Cave, also known as Zuni Ice Cave, is a lava tube cave in New Mexico with an internal temperature significantly less than above-ground summertime ambient temperature; it contains perennial ice. [1] The inside temperatures can fluctuate between −1 and 10 °C (31 and 50 °F). Some areas of the ice cave never reach above ...
