Ice Mass

It is thought that as Earth's climate cooled just over 30 million years ago, the snows that fell on the mountains produced mighty glaciers, which then merged to form one giant spreading ice-mass. ❋ Unknown (2009)

These great disturbances of the ice-mass must have a cause, and the only conceivable one was that the subjacent land had brought about this disruption of the surface. ❋ Unknown (2009)

He also has a go at that famous melting ice cap theory: The Antarctic, which holds 90 per cent of the world's ice and nearly all its 160,000 glaciers, has cooled and gained ice-mass in the past 30 years, reversing a 6,000-year melting trend. ❋ Helen (2006)

They say that “this idea is consistent with recent estimates of ice-mass loss” while dodging the issue that the QUANTITY does not. ❋ Unknown (2006)

This idea is consistent with recent estimates of ice-mass loss in Antarctica and accelerating ice-mass loss on Greenland. ❋ Unknown (2006)

An examination of the sides of the ice-mass also shows to the eye some other peculiarities. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

Wilson had not only been busy with the penguins at Cape Crozier, but had also made a complete examination of the enormous and interesting pressure ridges which form the junction of the Great Barrier ice-mass with the land, and subsequently had spent much time in studying the windless area to the south of Ross Island. ❋ Charles Turley (1904)

The data from the GPS and GRACE provided the researchers with monthly averages of crustal uplift caused by ice-mass loss. ❋ PhysOrg Team (2010)

This idea is consistent with recent estimates of ice-mass loss in Antarctica and accelerating ice-mass loss on Greenland, "he said." "" ❋ Unknown (2009)

"The observed widespread warming of the atmosphere and ocean, together with ice-mass loss, support the conclusion that it is extremely unlikely that global climate change of the past 50 years can be explained without external forcing, and very likely that is not due to known natural causes alone."
