    Extractions: The world's glaciers react to and interact with changes in global and regional climates. Most mountain glaciers worldwide have been retreating since the latter part of the 19th century; global sea level has risen about 10 centimeters during the past century. Glaciers vary in size as a result of several factors, of which climate variation is probably the most important. The reasons we are interested in glacier variation include its connection to climate change and to global sea level The present volume of the Earth's glacier ice, if totally melted, represents about 80 meters in sea-level rise. From minimum (an interglacial epoch) to maximum (an ice-age epoch) volume of glacier ice on the continents, sea level has a range of 200 meters. For example, during the last glacial peak, about 20,000 years ago, sea level is estimated to have been 120 meters lower than it is today. During a warmer climatic interval in the last interglacial period, 125,000 years ago, sea level was about 6 meters higher than it is today; during an even warmer interval 3 million years ago, sea level is estimated to have been 25 to 50 meters higher. Sea-level changes, especially in low-lying coastal areas and on islands, have significant effects on human activities and facilities. White areas show ice sheets and other glaciers around the world. The white spots in the oceans are islands where glaciers are found. Reproduced from National Geographic WORLD (February 1977, no. 18, p. 6) with permission.

    Extractions: WELCOME TO GLACIER COUNTRY ! Here you are in some of the most special and beautiful country in the world and that's why this region has been given World Hertiage Park Status. Our glaciers are in a period of dramatic advance at present making this a particularly exciting time to be here. What is so special about these glaciers is that they descend almost into the forest a mere 12 kilometres from the sea. Twelve kilometres in the opposite direction takes us to the top of New Zealand's highest peaks! Glaciers have shaped all of this country. Beautiful lakes have been left behind by previous ice age retreats and the low hills are old moraines.

    Extractions: Glaciers: Clues to Future Climate This out-of-print General-Interest Publication has been made available in Portable Document Format. A glacier is a large mass of ice having its genesis on land and represents a multiyear surplus of snowfall over snowmelt. At the present time, perennial ice covers about 10 percent of the land areas of the Earth. Although glaciers are generally thought of as polar entities, they also are found in mountainous areas throughout the world, on all continents except Australia, and even at or near the Equator on high mountains in Africa and South America.

    http://www.uvm.edu/whale/GlaciersWhatAre.html
    
    Extractions: are large masses of snow, recrystallized ice and rock debris that accumulate in great quantities and begin to flow outwards and downwards under the pressure of their own weight. Glaciers form when yearly snowfall in a region far exceeds the amount of snow and ice that melts in a given summer. In this way, massive quantities of material accumulate in relatively small periods of geologic time. Go to What are the physical effects of glaciers? Return to Glaciers and the glacial ages?

    Extractions: General Science Earth Ocean Atmosphere ... Space Credits EOA Home Glaciers Glaciers begin to form when snow remains in the same area year-round and transforms into ice. New layers of snow bury and compress the previous layers. The compression forces the icy snow to re-crystallize, forming grains similar in size and shape to cane sugar. Gradually the grains grow larger and the air pockets between the grains get smaller and more packed, increasing its overall density. At 20 meters (65 feet) the sheer weight of the mass causes the lowest portions to deform into sliding layers, and the glacier begins to flow. Learn more through this interactive.

MILAN, Italy (Reuters) The world's glaciers could melt within a century if global warming accelerates, leaving billions of people short of water and some islanders without a home, environmentalists said. "Unless governments take urgent action to prevent global warming, billions of people worldwide may face severe water shortages as a result of the alarming melting rate of glaciers, the WWF group said in a report Thursday. It said human impact on the climate was melting glaciers from the Andes to the Himalayas, bringing longer-term threats of higher sea levels that could swamp island states. Officials from 180 nations will meet in Milan on December 1-12 to discuss international efforts to rein in a rise in global temperatures, blamed by scientists on emissions of gases from factories and cars that are blanketing the planet.

    Extractions: (CNN) A new study indicates that glaciers in Alaska are melting faster than previously thought, providing further evidence of global warming, researchers said Thursday. Scientists have long warned that global warming when heat-trapping gases force atmospheric temperatures to rise could eventually raise sea levels to a dangerous point by melting ice sheets and glaciers. CNN NewsPass VIDEO CNN's Natalie Pawelski reports a new study indicates that glaciers in Alaska are melting faster than previously thought (July 18) Play video "The whole issue of global climate change is important to everyone," said glacier expert Anthony Arendt of the University of Alaska at Fairbanks. "The whole issue of sea-level change affects people who live near the coast quite directly. Just small changes in sea level can cause very large incursions of water up along the coast and can destroy valuable property there. It can move people away from their homes."

    Extractions: The Great Lakes Thousands of years ago , the melting mile-thick glaciers of the Wisconsin Ice Age left the North American continent a magnificent gift: five fantastic freshwater seas collectively known today as the Great Lakes Lake Superior Lake Huron Lake Michigan Lake Erie and Lake Ontario From the westernmost tip of Lake Superior at Duluth, Minnesota, to the easternmost tip of Lake Ontario at Watertown, New York, the five lakes stretch a thousand miles across the heartland of both the United States and Canada, creating nearly 9,500 miles of ocean-like shores. The lakes also contain an estimated 35,000 islands. Officially dubbed "the nation's fourth seacoast," the U.S. Great Lakes shoreline alone totals more than 4,500 miles longer than the U.S. East and Gulf coasts combined. As seen from space , the Great Lakes constitute one of the most identifiable features of the North American continent as well as our planet Earth. The North American Great Lakes are unique among the world's large lakes in that their basins are linked together and form one continuous drainage basin. Together, they constitute the greatest freshwater system on Earth. Starting in Lake Superior, the water flows out the lake's southeastern tip down the St. Marys River
