Why delaying climate action now means higher seas by 2100 – new research | The-14

Delaying climate action is accelerating sea level rise, increasing risks of coastal flooding, displacement and irreversible damage by 2100 worldwide.

Scientists warn of 3,100 “surging glaciers” that can trigger floods and avalanches

A hidden threat is emerging in the world’s glaciers: while most are shrinking, a rare group known as “surging glaciers” can suddenly accelerate, unleashing powerful and sometimes destructive events. Scientists have identified over 3,100 of these glaciers worldwide, with many clustered in high-risk regions like the Arctic and the Karakoram Mountains, where communities lie directly in their path.

environ 408 gigatonnes de glace ont disparu en une seule année

Depuis 1975, les #glaciers ont perdu près de 10 000 gigatonnes de glace, dont près de 80 % depuis 2000.

si le rythme actuel se maintient, de nombreux glaciers pourraient disparaître en quelques décennies, entraînant des effets en cascade sur les écosystèmes, le niveau des océans et la disponibilité en #eau #douce à l’échelle mondiale.

#Lakes are growing in #Alaska. That’s not entirely a bad thing
“We are seeing the great age of #ice retreat” in Alaska, says Daniel McGrath, a glaciologist at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. “These #glaciers are just peeling back from the landscape,” revealing deep grooves they carved in the Earth, where lakes are now forming.

Lakes are growing in Alaska. That’s not entirely a bad thing

Alaska’s glacial lakes are growing as glaciers retreat out of basins. These lakes will change desolate glacial rivers into thriving salmon habitat.

When we picture the effects of melting #glaciers , many of us think of rising seas and retreating ice streams. But along #greenlands coastline, a quieter transformation is underway, one that is affecting how the ocean breathes and how it reacts to and buffers itself against change.

In Young Sound, a fjord carved into Greenland’s remote NE coast, decades of monitoring have revealed that glacial #meltwater does not simply dilute the salt in seawater.

Melting Glaciers Make the Coastal Ocean More Sensitive

Fresh water from retreating ice does more than raise sea levels. It affects how the ocean responds to acidification and other environmental changes.
