For about 70 70 years, scientists have known, scale, screaming, drilling and generally in the northwest of the United States, which now promotes and honors the skills used worldwide.
Glacologist breeds have studied the slow moving ice mass in Washington State, which is one of the five so -called “benchmarks” American glaciers, in keeping the tabs how they are changing because human activity warms the earth.
Although glaciers have been studied in Europe since the 19th century, what the scientists have learned has been invaluable.
“We use many scientific methods to measure glaciers,” said Emirates, a professor at Portland State University, who specializes in glaciers and climate change.
It also includes the use of ice radar, which allows researchers to see how thick the snow is in a place where a glacier is probably more than a million years.
– Ideal for study-
The South Cascoid Glacier is sitting in a basin on the southern thorns of the Cascoid River, which eventually flows in the voice of a Pujet.
Basin size – more than 2 square miles (more than 6 square kilometers) – its straightforward geometry made it ideal for scientists to study how they want to know how these dynamic body are moving in the changing world.
A glacier accumulates a glacier snow and snow that always walks, and stands down the rocks down and – over a long time – the valleys.
According to the US Geological Survey, the measurement began in 1958 from the place, which is a government -based government -studying government.
Next year, the USGS started as a “continuous mass balance” measurement project that runs in flow, rain, air temperature, barometer pressure, ice thickness and density, ice boiling, surface speed and surface height race.
– Removing back –
Along with the data collected here, four other benchmarks also provide a permanent record in Al-Qaeda and a permanent record in Montana, which provides their climate change and changes in the year by year.
Over the past seven decades, the glacologist “has been able to find out what the glacier is responding to the climate.”
The fountain says that what they are seeing is not good.
“As you can imagine, it’s backing up like crazy,” and now the size of the measurement was half the size.
With a complete record of the situation, it is clear that the industrial era is to blame the growing temperature, the fountain said.
A warm environment reduces the amount of rain that falls like ice, and increases air temperatures so that what falls from the snow falls, does not fall around.
Although people can find it difficult to detect long -term trends in different quantities of ice that one region can experience it year -to -year, the shrinking glacier is a clear sign that nature’s balance is closed.
“We can seem to understand that the climate is hot,” he said.
Since President Donald Trump – Climate change came to power – he and billionaire adviser Elon Musk has reduced government spending after eliminating tens of thousands of government jobs, including scientists.
This week, researchers from the Environmental Protection Agency – who were put in the firing line – to deal with environmental issues, including pollution, clean water and climate change.
For the fountain, whatever reason the government has to reduce the work of scientists, they should not be neglected.
About two percent of the world’s water is stored in glaciers, and if they all melt, it will eventually move into the oceans, which will increase the level of sea and affect human settlements around the world along the beach tens of thousands of miles.
Fountain said, for this reason, other than other reasons, this is why the science of glaciffs, which was age in the South Caskened Glacier.
“Just because we do not want to hear a message, it does not mean that this is not happening,” he said.
