22. What Are Glaciers? What are glaciers? glaciers form when yearly snowfall in a region farexceeds the amount of snow and ice that melts in a given summer. http://www.uvm.edu/whale/GlaciersWhatAre.html

What are glaciers? are large masses of snow, recrystallized ice and rock debris that accumulate in great quantities and begin to flow outwards and downwards under the pressure of their own weight. Glaciers form when yearly snowfall in a region far exceeds the amount of snow and ice that melts in a given summer. In this way, massive quantities of material accumulate in relatively small periods of geologic time. Go to What are the physical effects of glaciers? Return to Glaciers and the glacial ages?

Land on a glacier and touch snow at any time of the year Alpine Adventures began glacier flights 1986 We now operate 8 modern turbine helicopters from bases in Franz Josef, Fox Glacier, Lake Tekapo, Kaikoura and Makarora. We are the only locally owned operator , of three licensees, allowed to land on the Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers , in the Westland National Park, so our services are in the Mount Cook region. Our Franz Josef office has a Cafe, Souvenir Shop, Helicopter Flight Booking office, Guided Glacier Walks, Fishing Tours and Guided Trophy Hunting. Within our Alpine Adventures Centre Building is a Movie theatre showing "Flowing West" 20 minute sensory journey through glacier country that shows the Glacier region.

They exist in environments of high and low precipitation and in many temperature regimes; they are found on all the continents except Australia and they span the globe from high altitudes in equatorial regions to the polar ice caps. There is a delicate balance between climatic factors that allows snow to remain beyond its season. ... Scientists and skiers alike can note that within a few days of falling, snowflakes have noticeably begun to change. ... The snowflakes are compressed under the weight of the overlying snowpack. Individual crystal near the melting point have slick liquid edges allowing them to glide along other crystal planes and to readjust the space between them. Where the crystals touch they bond together, squeezing the air between them to the surface or into bubbles. During summer we might see the crystal metamorphosis occur more rapidly because of water percolation between the crystals. By summer's end the result is firn a compacted snow with the appearance of wet sugar, but with a hardness that makes it resistant to all but the most dedicated snow shovelers! Several years are usually required for the snow to settle and to season into the substance we call

Satellite Image Atlas of Glaciers of the World USGS Fact Sheet 133-99 The world's glaciers react to and interact with changes in global and regional climates. Most mountain glaciers worldwide have been retreating since the latter part of the 19th century; global sea level has risen about 10 centimeters during the past century. Glaciers vary in size as a result of several factors, of which climate variation is probably the most important. The reasons we are interested in glacier variation include its connection to climate change and to global sea level The present volume of the Earth's glacier ice, if totally melted, represents about 80 meters in sea-level rise. From minimum (an interglacial epoch) to maximum (an ice-age epoch) volume of glacier ice on the continents, sea level has a range of 200 meters. For example, during the last glacial peak, about 20,000 years ago, sea level is estimated to have been 120 meters lower than it is today. During a warmer climatic interval in the last interglacial period, 125,000 years ago, sea level was about 6 meters higher than it is today; during an even warmer interval 3 million years ago, sea level is estimated to have been 25 to 50 meters higher. Sea-level changes, especially in low-lying coastal areas and on islands, have significant effects on human activities and facilities. White areas show ice sheets and other glaciers around the world. The white spots in the oceans are islands where glaciers are found. Reproduced from National Geographic WORLD (February 1977, no. 18, p. 6) with permission.

Glaciers: Clues to Future Climate By Richard S. Williams, Jr., This out-of-print General-Interest Publication has been made available in Portable Document Format. A glacier is a large mass of ice having its genesis on land and represents a multiyear surplus of snowfall over snowmelt. At the present time, perennial ice covers about 10 percent of the land areas of the Earth. Although glaciers are generally thought of as polar entities, they also are found in mountainous areas throughout the world, on all continents except Australia, and even at or near the Equator on high mountains in Africa and South America.

"A cryospheric focal point for NASA's Earth Science Enterprise." ICESat Mission Launches Successfully The successful launch of ICESat on January 12, 2003, will provide valuable information on how global climate change affects the polar ice sheets and sea level. The satellite, part of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise, is scheduled to remain in its near-polar orbit for a minimum of three years, measuring changes in ice sheet mass balance as well as sea ice thickness and atmospheric properties. The GLAS instrument on ICESat will provide higher resolution and more precise measurements of the ice sheets than previous missions, greatly improving mass balance models and topographic detail of the ice sheets. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center designed and built GLAS, and ICESat was assembled by Ball Aerospace in Boulder, CO. The spacecraft will be controlled on-orbit by the University of Colorado's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP). Laser altimetry and atmospheric lidar data from the mission will be among the products distributed by NSIDC beginning in late summer 2003.
