Bisher konnte die arktische Meereisdicke im Sommer nicht genau gemessen werden. Ein Forschungsteam mit AWI-Beteiligung hat nun jedoch ein neues Verfahren .
As the outside world grapples with rising uncertainty, Canadians are yearning for increased serenity and stability inside their homes. This trend has spurred SICO™ paint brand by PPG to select
the us house speaker, nancy pelosi is in taiwan, for a hugely controversial visit, which china warns could have serious consequences for america. washington says the taliban broke an agreement not to allow foreign militants on afghan soil, after ayman al zawahiri, the leader of al-qaeda, is killed by a us drone strike in kabul. the himalayan mountain range harbours the third largest amount of iglesia ice in the world. it is a huge source of melt water for countless rivers, including the ganges and the indus, but the glaziers are melting and shrinking at an ever increasing rate, and that means ever declining water supplies downstream for hundreds of millions of indians. now, though, the government believes it has found a solution and is using special methods to bring tap water to these villages. well,
this glacier, so when they start moving around as the creates quite a hazardous situation, and also a lot of melt water that is generated. an alarming trend but it is something we see what are the future risks that you are anticipating? can we see what are the future risks that you are anticipating?- that you are anticipating? can it have a cascading that you are anticipating? can it have a cascading impact - that you are anticipating? can it have a cascading impact downstream in other areas? have a cascading impact downstream in other areas? there are some down streamin: in other areas? there are some down streaming impacts in other areas? there are some down streaming impacts as in other areas? there are some down streaming impacts as they in other areas? there are some down streaming impacts as they melt - in other areas? there are some down | streaming impacts as they melt water accumulates. in 2017, there was a large flood event, some melt water pooled on the surface, and
melting and releasing a bit of that water throughout the year. it is estimated maybe up to a billion people or so are dependent to a greater or lesser extent on water draining from these glaciers. and thatis draining from these glaciers. and that is feeding irrigation, it is direct water supply, that is feeding irrigation, it is direct watersupply, drinking that is feeding irrigation, it is direct water supply, drinking water. and in some cases, hydroelectric power as well. so it has really quite profound impacts, influence, for about a billion people, some of the biggest river systems in the world are fed by at least in part glacial melt water. the ganges. further over to the west in the karakoram. also feeding the indus river which flows through a hyper arid region. so really important water supply for this region. you can easy extrapolate from that if the water is not released at a consistent rate over a year if the melt is faster, that has much, much
