Learn from NASA scientists about two forms of water (liquid and solid), and about the special properties of ice that are important to Earth’s life and climate, in this video from NASA eClips. Ice can be found in bodies of water across the planet. In the polar regions, ice that is present all year lo
Greenland's ice sheet consists of about 2.7 million gigatons of ice. Until 1990, the ice mass remained about the same. Since the turn of the millennium, Greenland has been steadily losing ice to the sea. Author: 3sat/nano/mobyDOK/Alexander Lahl/Max Mönch/Jean Schablin/Robert Coellen/Mirko Tribanek/
The Antarctic ice sheet is the world's largest permanently iced area. If the sea warms by only 0.5 degrees, the ice shelf melts from below and breaks at the edges. Author: 3sat/nano/mobyDOK/Alexander Lahl/Max Mönch/Jean Schablin/Robert Coellen/Mirko Tribanek/Mandy Blaurock,Susan Kreher/Jochen Schmi
The Barry Glacier on Alaska's southern coast is located on one of many fjords that are extremely vulnerable to climate change. Researchers suspect that the melting glacier could cause large debris avalanches. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Region Five/I. Zink/O. Roetz/Maximilian Mohr Translation and dubbing:
Ice cores from Antarctica are a kind of climate archive. They provide information about the contents of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere thousands of years ago. Author: By ZDF/Terra X/Group 5/Luise Wagner, Jonas Sichert Dubbing: alugha Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/TerraX
Scientific evidence strongly suggests that different regions on Earth do not respond equally to increased temperatures. Ice-covered regions appear to be particularly sensitive to even small changes in global temperature. This video segment adapted from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center details how
Learn how features derived from Cassini radar data indicate a possible ice volcano on Saturn's moon Titan in this video from NASA. Learn about Sotra Facula, a possible cryovolcano (ice volcano) on Saturn's moon Titan. Volcanologist Rosaly Lopes explains how topographic maps derived from Cassini rada
This video segment adapted from NOVA scienceNOW highlights research that supports the idea that warmer oceans generate and sustain more intense hurricanes. Ongoing monitoring of sea surface temperature (SST) has supplied evidence that the world's oceans warmed 0.5°C between 1970 and 2005. Because hu
20,000 years ago, the Baltic Sea region was still covered by a glacier. A change in climate caused the glacial ice to melt. The first form of the Baltic Sea emerged: a freshwater lake. Today, despite its connection to the North Sea, it is considered an inland sea. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Nina Zorn/Anna
