  2. 8.2-kiloyear event - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.2-kiloyear_event

    Based on estimates of lake volume and decaying ice cap size, values of 0.4–1.2 m (1 ft 4 in – 3 ft 11 in) circulate. Based on sea-level data from the Mississippi Delta, the end of the Lake Agassiz–Ojibway (LAO) drainage occurred at 8.31 to 8.18 ka and ranges from 0.8 to 2.2 m. [ 25 ]

  3. Outburst flood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outburst_flood

    About 8,300 to 7,700 years ago, the melting ice dam over Hudson Bay's southernmost extension narrowed to the point where pressure and its buoyancy lifted it free, and the ice-dam failed catastrophically. Lake Ojibway's beach terraces show that it was 250 metres (820 ft) above sea level.

  4. Past sea level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Past_sea_level

    If small glaciers and polar ice caps on the margins of Greenland and the Antarctic Peninsula melt, the projected rise in sea level will be around 0.5 m (1 ft 7.7 in). Melting of the Greenland ice sheet would produce 7.2 m (23.6 ft) of sea-level rise, and melting of the Antarctic ice sheet would produce 61.1 m (200.5 ft) of sea level rise. [7]

  5. The more scientists study Greenland, the worse its ice melt looks

    The Greenland ice sheet has lost about 1,965 square miles to glacial retreat since 1985, a new study says.

  6. Glacial stream - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacial_stream

    In the summer, glacial streams experience high stream flow because of ice melt. [8] The high flow is characterized by high turbidity and sediment transport, which reduces the biomass of the resident periphyton. [8] At the end of summer, ice melt is reduced and stream flow decreases, causing an increase in the periphyton population. [8]

  7. Meltwater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meltwater

    Meltwater (or melt water) is water released by the melting of snow or ice, including glacial ice, tabular icebergs and ice shelves over oceans. Meltwater is often found during early spring when snow packs and frozen rivers melt with rising temperatures, and in the ablation zone of glaciers where the rate of snow cover is reducing.

  8. Plucking (glaciation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plucking_(glaciation)

    As a glacier moves down a valley, friction causes the basal ice of the glacier to melt and infiltrate joints (cracks) in the bedrock. The freezing and thawing action of the ice enlarges, widens, or causes further cracks in the bedrock as it changes volume across the ice/water phase transition (a form of hydraulic wedging), gradually loosening ...
