Download or read book Abrupt Climate Change written by Peter U. Clark and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is part of a series of 21 Synthesis and Assessments (SAP) aimed at providing current assessments of climate change science to inform public debate, policy, and operational decisions. These reports are also intended to help develop future program research priorities. The guiding vision is to provide the Nation and the global community with the science-based knowledge needed to manage the risks and capture the opportunities associated with climate and related environmental changes. This SAP assesses abrupt climate change events where key aspects of the climate system change faster than the responsible forces would suggest and/or faster than society can respond to those changes.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few scientists doubt the prediction that the antropogenic release of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will lead to some warming of the earth's climate. So there is good reason to investigate the possible effects of such a warming, in dependence of geographical and social economic setting. Many bodies, governmental or not, have organized meetings and issued reports in which the carbon dioxide problem is defined, reviewed, and possible threats assessed. The rate at which such reports are produced still increases. However, while more and more people are getting involved in the 'carbon dioxide business', the number of investigators working on the basic problems grows, in our view, too slowly. Many fundamental questions are still not answered in a satisfactory way, and the carbon dioxide building rests on a few thin pillars. One such fundamental question concerns the change in sea level associated with a climatic warming of a few degrees. A number of processes can be listed that could all lead to changes of the order of tens of centimeters (e. g. thermal expansion, change in mass balance of glaciers and ice sheets). But the picture of the carbon dioxide problem has frequently be made more dramatic by suggesting that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is unstable, implying a certain probability of a 5 m higher sea-level stand within a few centuries.

Book Synopsis Satellite and Airborne Observations of Ocean-driven Mass-balance Processes on Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica by : Maya Karina Becker
Download or read book Satellite and Airborne Observations of Ocean-driven Mass-balance Processes on Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica written by Maya Karina Becker and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing mass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet has contributed to recent acceleration in the rate of global mean sea-level rise (SLR). Its full SLR potential is ~58 m, and its future contribution remains highly uncertain. The flow of Antarctica's grounded ice into the ocean, and thus its contribution to SLR, is regulated by buttressing from floating ice shelves. Ice-shelf mass loss can reduce this buttressing effect. In this dissertation, I used satellite and airborne remote sensing data to explore three processes by which the ocean drives mass change on Antarctica's large Ross Ice Shelf (RIS). First, I compared RIS thicknesses estimated from satellite laser altimetry and ROSETTA-Ice airborne radar data to identify a potential area of basal marine-ice accretion (i.e., local mass gain) in the ice-shelf interior. Large uncertainties prevent a definitive conclusion; reducing uncertainties will require additional measurements of ice-column density and firn properties. Second, I showed that airborne radar thickness profiles capture near-front thinning of RIS associated with basal melting by seasonally warmed upper-ocean water. Finally, I investigated the bending of the RIS front due to buoyancy created by the melting-related development of a submerged bench of ice, a mechanism that may lead to mass loss by calving of small icebergs. Profiles of the ice-shelf surface height from two satellite laser altimetry missions (ICESat, 2003-2009; and ICESat-2, 2018-present) reveal that this bending is larger on the eastern section of the RIS front, reflecting along-front variability in near-front ice thickness and ocean conditions. I also found that the surface deformation increased overall between 2018 and 2022. Between the two satellite mission periods, these surface structures grew along sections of the RIS front that experienced large calving events in the early 2000s. Taken together, these studies demonstrate that important mass-balance processes at the interface of ice shelf and ocean occur at small spatial scales that can only be resolved over large areas by high-resolution satellite and airborne sensors. Better understanding of these processes will require a combination of improved data density and models that correctly represent ocean properties and ice mechanical processes.
