Glacier in a sentence

Groff says one of the limitations of reconstructing glacier history is that there are few types of terrestrial archives that can be used to constrain past glacier behavior.

In addition to sea ice extent, scientists are closely monitoring the Thwaites Glacier, also known as the ‘Doomsday Glacier’ which is currently responsible for around 4% of global sea level rise.

Today, the Arapaho Glacier lies within a protected watershed, but hikers at the Rainbow Lakes trailhead can follow a graded portion of the extended –– but never completed –– six-mile road to the overlook, on Arapaho Glacier Trail 905.

Another glacier was documented in 1901 by Wheeler, called Illecillewaet glacier that covered the mountain in a sheet of ice.

Iceland's Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir said: "This is the first Icelandic glacier that's formally declared an 'ex-glacier'.

Known as Aak’wtaaksit (“Glacier Behind the Little Lake”) and Sitaantaago (“the Glacier Behind the Town”) to the indigenous Tlingit people, the ice caves immerse travelers in a dazzling world of sapphire and ice.

Ok, as the glacier is called (“jökull” being merely a suffix which means “glacier”) is officially the first iceberg we’ve lost due to anthropogenic climate change.

They interviewed the geologist Oddur Sigurosson, who first determined its non-glacier status, and many other Icelanders for a film entitled, "Not Ok," and chronicled the glacier's end.

This eventually creates a warm pool beneath the glacier, which may cause the glacier to slide, ever-so-slowly, down the mountain to lower elevations where temperatures are warmer.

Also, was he being dragged by a glacier across miles of terrain over thousands of years and then left on a different kind of terrain when the glacier melted?

Agassiz Glacier and Agassiz Creek in Glacier National Park and Mount Agassiz in Bethlehem, New Hampshire in the White Mountains also bear his name.

A sub-polar glacier includes both temperate and polar ice, depending on depth beneath the surface and position along the length of the glacier.

Because lateral moraines are deposited on top of the glacier, they do not experience the postglacial erosion of the valley floor and therefore, as the glacier melts, lateral moraines are usually preserved as high ridges.

Due to the advance, two lobes of the glacier joined together in late May 2008 and thus the glacier completely surrounds the lava domes.

In ice thrusting, the glacier freezes to its bed, then as it surges forward, it moves large sheets of frozen sediment at the base along with the glacier.

Lower Curtis Glacier in 2003 compared to 1985 extent demarcated by red line demonstrates the retreat of this glacier.

Lyell Glacier is the largest glacier in Yosemite (the Palisades Glaciers are the largest in the Sierra Nevada) and covers convert.

Moraines may be on the glacier’s surface or deposited as piles or sheets of debris where the glacier has melted.

The glacier snowline (the altitude where accumulation and ablation of a glacier are balanced) was about convert lower than it is today.

The Lyell Glacier is the largest glacier in Yosemite National Park and is one of the few remaining in the Sierra Nevada today.
