A National Park Service report on Alaska's glaciers noted glaciers within Alaska national parks shrank 8% between the 1950s and early 2000s and glacier-covered area across the state decreased by ...
Photojournalist Larry Pannell estimates around "two thirds" of the Sawyer Glacier has disappeared since he first visited in 2012. Climate change: Shocking photos show Alaska glacier melting Skip ...
Glaciers in the Juneau Icefield in southeastern Alaska are melting at a faster rate than previously thought and may reach an irreversible tipping point sooner than expected, according to a study ...
Hog Butte Fire, Alaska, June 2022 Sign thanking firefighters, Deshka Landing Fire, 2019. In August 2016, the Environmental Protection Agency reported that "[o]ver the past 60 years, most of the state has warmed three degrees (F) on average and six degrees during winter" [1] As a result of this temperature increase, the EPA noted that "Arctic sea ice is retreating, shores are eroding, glaciers ...
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 ...
The McCarty Glacier is a tidewater glacier located in the Harding Icefield in the Kenai Mountains of the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. The glacier is named for William McCarty, a former resident of Seward. The glacier has been severely affected by global warming and since the early 1900s its terminus has receded 15 km from the mouth of the bay. [1]
A new scientific study published Thursday suggests the world should start preparing to protect the ecosystems that emerge from under the disappearing ice, as a warming planet is inevitably causing ...
If the Paris Agreement goal of staying below 2 °C (3.6 °F) is achieved, melting of Greenland ice alone would still add around 6 cm (2 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) to global sea level rise by the end of the century. If there are no reductions in emissions, melting would add around 13 cm (5 in) by 2100, [70]: 1302 with a worst-case of about 33 cm (13 in). [71]
