2. Meltwater management - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meltwater_management

   Snow filtration is a system to deal with left-over snow in an environmentally friendly way. Removing snow from roads is done to ensure road safety. The conventional method is by removing the snow and emptying it into rivers. However, since salt is used to melt ice on the roads, the salt also enters the rivers with the dumped snow.

3. Arctic geoengineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_geoengineering

   Arctic sea ice coverage as of 2007 compared to 2005 and also compared to 1979-2000 average. Arctic geoengineering is a type of climate engineering in which polar climate systems are intentionally manipulated to reduce the undesired impacts of climate change.

4. Arctic Ice Project - Wikipedia

   Target locations will be near communities that depend on the ice, and routes through which melting ice reaches the wider ocean. [8] The Arctic Ice Project aims to rebuild a natural system with the least possible intervention. [3] The Arctic Ice Project's silica microspheres will dissolve over time. [9] This is a form of “soft geoengineering ...

   Since 1992, Earth has lost 8.3 trillion tons (7.6 trillion metric tons) of ice from the two ice sheets, the study found. ... They use 17 different satellite missions and examine ice sheet melt in ...

7. Ice–albedo feedback - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice–albedo_feedback

   Ice–albedo feedback also occurs with the other large ice masses on the Earth's surface, such as mountain glaciers, Greenland ice sheet, West Antarctic and East Antarctic ice sheet. However, their large-scale melt is expected to take centuries or even millennia, and any loss in area between now and 2100 will be negligible.
