Charlotte, The Vermont Whale Glaciers and the Glacial Ages The landscape of Vermont, as well as the landscape of much of northern North America, Europe and Russia has been profoundly affected by glaciation over the last 1.5 million years. What are glaciers? How do they form? What are the physical effects of glaciers? Can these effects be seen here in Vermont? How frequently do Ice Ages occur? When did the last glacial age end? Will glaciers again advance over North America? Brought to you through the courtesy of Computing and Information Technology, University of Vermont.

The cryosphere is the portion of the Earth's surface where water is in a solid form, usually snow or ice. This includes sea ice, freshwater ice, snow, glaciers, and frozen ground (or permafrost).

Includes visual snapshots of cryospheric data. All About Glaciers All About Snow, Avalanches, and Blizzards Antarctic Megadunes ... Snow Seasonal snow cover, the largest component of the cryosphere, covers up to 33 percent of the Earth's total land surface. About 98 percent of the total seasonal snow cover is located in the Northern Hemisphere. Although snowdrifts and avalanches often pose hazards to humans, snow also provides much of the world's water. For example, snowfall accounts for 60 to 70 percent of annual precipitation in the U.S. Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains, and is later released as water during spring snow melt and river runoff. Glaciers Glaciers and ice sheets cover about 10 percent of the Earth's land area. Glaciers, large, thickened masses of ice, accumulate from snowfall over long periods of time. When these ice masses reach a critical thickness, they begin to move, or flow. A body of ice that covers a large area of land and flows outward in all directions is called an ice cap or ice sheet. Ice caps form in high mountain summit and plateau regions. Two ice sheets exist on Earth now, one in Greenland and one in Antarctica. All continents except Australia bear ice in the form of mountain glaciers, ice sheets, or ice caps. Today, glaciers and ice sheets store about 75 percent of the world's freshwater.

13. Quick Facts About Glaciers Get the scoop on everything you wanted to know about glaciers. http://www-nsidc.colorado.edu/glaciers/quickfacts.html

home about search site map ... More Info Quick Facts Presently, 10% of land area is covered with glaciers. Glaciers store about 75% of the world's freshwater. Glacierized areas cover over 15,000,000 square kilometers. Antarctic ice is over 4,200 meters thick in some areas. In the United States, glaciers cover over 75,000 square kilometers, with most of the glaciers located in Alaska. During the last Ice Age, glaciers covered 32% of the total land area. If all land ice melted, sea level would rise approximately 70 meters worldwide. Glacier ice crystals can grow to be as large as baseballs. The land underneath parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may be up to 2.5 kilometers below sea level, due to the weight of the ice. North America's longest glacier is the Bering Glacier in Alaska, measuring 204 kilometers long. The Malaspina Glacier in Alaska is the world's largest piedmont glacier, covering over 8,000 square kilometers and measuring over 193 kilometers across at its widest point. The massive lobe of Malaspina Glacier is clearly visible in this aerial photograph taken by Austin Post in 1959. (Austin S. Post photograph at the World Data Center for Glaciology, Univesity of Colorado, Boulder.) Glacial ice often appears blue when it has become very dense. Years of compression gradually make the ice denser over time, forcing out the tiny air pockets between crystals. When glacier ice becomes extremely dense, the ice absorbs all other colors in the spectrum and reflects primarily blue, which is what we see. When glacier ice is white, that usually means that there are many tiny air bubbles still in the ice.

Glaciers in Rhode Island Dr McConeghy email mmcconeghy@jwu.edu Matanuska Glacier in Alaska meltwater lake on top of the glacier mmcconeghy Glaciers in Alaska? Yes, sure! But, how do we know there were Glaciers in Rhode Island? 1. Till and boulders photo mmcconeghy Alaska 1999 This photo actually shows recently deposited till at the foot of Matanuska glacier in Alaska, but the image should be familiar to anyone who has hiked around New England. Till is rocks that have been deposited by the glacier as it melts. The rocks are typically a mixture of all different sizes and shapes: some have been rounded off as they have been carried along by the ice, and further eroded by the water rushing out of the melting glacier. The glacial Till is often spread out into "braided" streams where it is further eroded and sorted. The rushing meltwater sorts the till into different sizes, rolling large boulders into piles, and carrying sand and silt further downstream than mid-sized rocks. Big glaciers move a lot of rocks, and we have many places in New England where you can see glacial boulders that have been moved by the ice.

Ice sheets have existed on Earth for half of the last one billion years! In the last million and a half years, geologists believe that the ice sheets have expanded to twice the size of today, and then shrunk, more than 20 times! What causes ice sheets to expand and contract? Are the present ice sheets growing or shrinking? How will global warming impact the ice sheets? How do the ice sheets impact the global system? Glacial geologists study the present glacial environment to understand "ice ages" of the past. Come and explore the ever-changing nature of the glacial setting; the ice, the changes it creates in the landscape, and its response to changes in the environment! What is a Glaciologist?
