glacial mass

The movement of the glacial mass is due to “anomalous temperature trends”, the experts said.

“The Northwest has more glacial mass than any other place in the lower 48,” she says.

Global warming has melted Earth’s glacial mass, submerging nearly the entire planet in water.

Shortly after publication of the original paper, sharp-eyed readers noticed an important error in the incorporation and interpretation of a previously published estimate of glacial mass imbalance.

In Switzerland, for example, a recent study showed that loss of glacial mass because of the warming climate has increased hydropower production by 3 percent to 4 percent since 1980.
