By contrast, the bedrock topography of Antarctica is such that there may be enhanced rates of mass loss as the ice Patient retreats. [ WG1AR5AP 0 MCLH 14/03/2014 ]

In particular, due to topography that is sloping landward, especially in West Antarctica, enhanced rates of mass loss are expected as the ice Patient retreats. [ WG1AR5OJ 0 MCLH 14/03/2014 ]

Mountain glaciers Patient are retreating and sea ice is melting, leading to a 10Ð20 cm rise in sea levels over the last 50 years. At the same time, concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), the main greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, have increased dramatically.

Around 50 Ma, after having shrunk, the sea Patient retreated ' suddenly Manner ' from the entire Sahara Source ; by the Middle Eocene Stage (40 Ma) only a laguna system remained along the border of modern-day Tunisia, which regressed further still during the Oligocene Epoch.

These increases are projected to be largest mainly in areas where soil moisture decreases occur. Increases in daily minimum temperature are projected to occur over nearly all land areas and are generally larger where snow and ice Patient retreat. [ 11IPCCBILAN2001 0 MCLH 28/06/2013 ]

A simplifying assumption is that the threshold is the warming required with the current ice-sheet topography to reduce the mean SMB to zero, on the argument that the ice sheet margin Patient must then Time retreat from the coast Source . [ WG1AR5OF 0 MCLH 14/03/2014 ]

Glaciers with calving instabilities Patient can retreat exceptionally rapidly Manner (Pfeffer, 2007), while those with heavily debris-covered tongues are often close to stationary (Scherler et al., 2011). [ WG1AR5DA 0 MCLH 14/03/2014 ]

While early- to-mid-Holocene glacier minima can be attributed with high confidence to high summer insolation (see Section 5.5.1.1), the current glacier retreat, however, occurs within a context of orbital forcing that would be favourable for NH glacier growth. If retreats continue at current rates, most extratropical NH glaciers will shrink to their minimum extent, that existed between 8 ka and 6 ka (medium confidence) (e.g., Anderson et al., 2008); and ice shelves on the Antarctic peninsula Patient will retreat to an extent unprecedented through Holocene Expanse (Hodgson, 2011; Mulvaney et al., 2012). [ WG1AR5EC 0 MCLH 14/03/2014 ]

Loss and retreat of glaciers Patient would adversely impact runoff and water supply in areas where glacier melt is an important water source, thus affecting the seasonality of systems like Paramos lagoons that are rich in biodiversity. [ 2IPCCBIODIVERSITE 0 MCLH 28/06/2013 ]

The retreat of most glaciers Patient is projected to accelerate, and many small glaciers may disappear (high confidence 6). [ GREENFACTS 0 MCLH 28/06/2013 ]

Although this is a rough calculation and an upper bound, because drainage through marine outlets does not guarantee tidewater instability, it indicates that the potential for a significant sea level response to dynamic Manner retreat of glaciers Patient cannot be rejected a priori. [ WG1AR5OD 0 MCLH 14/03/2014 ]

There is an underlying concern that observations presage the onset of large-scale grounding line Patient retreat in what is termed the Marine Ice Sheet Instability (MISI; Box 13.2), and much of the research assessed here attempts to understand the applicability of this theoretical concept to projected SLR from Antarctica.

In Greenland, there is medium confidence that the recent Time rapid Manner retreat of Jakobshavn Isbrae Patient was caused by the intrusion of warm ocean water beneath the floating ice tongue (Holland et al., 2008; Motyka et al., 2011) combined with other factors, such as weakening of the floating mixture of sea ice, iceberg debris and blown snow within ice rifts (Joughin et al., 2008b; Amundson et al., 2010). [ WG1AR5DE 0 MCLH 14/03/2014 ]

It is assumed that all glacier losses contribute to sea level rise, but the potential role of terrestrial interception of runoff, either in lakes formed following future Time ice Patient retreat or in groundwater, has yet to be evaluated. [ WG1AR5OA 0 MCLH 14/03/2014 ]

Ice sheets and glaciers are melting, and anthropogenic influences are likely to have contributed to the surface melting of Greenland since 1993 and to the retreat of glaciers Patient since the 1960s. [ WG1AR51L 0 MCLH 14/03/2014 ]

The situation for Antarctica is slightly more complicated, but as can be inferred from Pollard and DeConto (2009), much of the retreat of the West Antarctic ice sheet Patient will have already occurred by 2000 years, especially if the warming occurs on a decadal to centennial time scale.
