Impact of Ice Melting on Sea Levels: A Visual Comparison of Glacial Disappearance

Explore the accelerated melting of ice with a side-by-side comparison from 1992 to 2002. Witness Argentina's Upsala Glacier shrinking at 200 meters annually. Estimate sea level rise from Antarctic ice melt at an average thickness of 3000 meters.

Presentation Transcript

  1. The rate of ice melting doubled between 1996 and 2005. This graphic shows seasonal melting in 1992 (left) and 2002 (right).

  2. Argentina's Upsala Glacier was once the biggest in South America, but it is now disappearing at a rate of 200 metres per year.

  3. Problem 5 Assuming the average thickness of the ice in Antarctica is 3000 meters, estimate the sea level rise if all the Antarctic ice melts.
