The speed at which the rock is disappearing all over the planet is accelerating, following an investigation that publishes this Monday issue of The Cryosphere.
The studio, housed by the University of Leeds (United Kingdom), also revealed that the Tierra lost 28 billion tons of ice between 1994 and 2017, which equals a cape of 100 meters of ice that covers the entire United Kingdom.
The data were published by an investigative team, the first to cover an analysis of the global loss of space using satellite data.
The team found out that Tierra’s helper bag had been noticeably increased in the last three decades.
The caida of the mass of heel in all the world increases the level of the sea, increments the risk of floods in the coastal communities and arranges to harvest with the natural habitats of those who depend on New Year’s Eve, añaden los expertos.
The study, funded by the United Kingdom’s Medio Natural Investigation Council, also involved experts from the University of Edimburg, the University College London (UCL) and Earthwave data specialists.
The master investigation which, in general, produced an increase of 65% in the amount of ice loss during the period carried out over a period of 23 years, on top of the increase in polar ice caps in Antarctica and Greenland .
The author’s principal, Thomas Slater, researcher at the Leeds Polar and Model Observatory, said that, although each region analyzed the ice age, “the losses of the Antarctic and Greenlandic ice capes are the ones that have accelerated the most”.
This situation responds to “climatic calendars scenarios” and the level rise of the sea “will have very serious effects in the coastal communities of this sail”, added.
Slater results that the study has been the first of its kind to examine the whole that is disappearing in the Tierra, using satellite observations.
The studio evaluates 215,000 glaciers distributed across the planet, the polar ice caps in Greenland and Antarctica, as well as the marine ice that is the derivative.
The increase in atmospheric temperatures has been the main impetus for the disruption of the Arctic Ocean and the glaciers of the mountain all over the world, while the increase in ocean temperatures has increased the reduction of the Antarctic ice cap, including investigation.
In the case of the Greenland cape cape, the heel losses were separated by a combination of oceanic and atmospheric temperatures on average.
