Upsala-Gletscher Upsala-Gletscher From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie Upsala Glacier as seen from the International Space Station , October 2009. Upsala-Gletscher wie der aus gesehen Internationalen Raumstation , Oktober 2009 Der Upsala-Gletscher ist ein großer Talgletscher in Argentinien 's Nationalpark Los Glaciares. Es fließt aus dem südlichen patagonischen Eis- feld, das auch den nahe gelegenen Gletscher Perito Moreno speist. Der Gletschers reicht in den Lago Argentino. Der Upsala-Gletscher ist wegen seines raschen Rückzuges bekannt, der von vielen als Beweis für die glo- bale Erwärmung angeführt wird. Der Name stammt von der alten Rechtschreibung mit einem p von der Universität Uppsala, die als erste sponserte die glaziologische Studien in dieser Region sponserte Der Gletscher zog sich bis 1999 ständig zurück. Das hat in jüngster Zeit nachgelassen (Stand 2003). Die vorherige Beschleunigung in der Eisbe- wegung in den zwei Jahrzehnten vor 1999 kann der durch die Rückspannung erklärt werden, als sich der Gletscher über die Inseln in Brazo Upsala zurückgezogen hat.

We classified ~24,000 glaciers inside thirteen different clusters (C1 to C13). These clusters show specific conditions in terms of annual and monthly amounts of precipitation, temperature, and solar radiation. In the Northern part of Chile, the Dry Andes (17-36°S) gather five clusters (C1-C5) that display mean annual precipitation and temperature differences up to 400 mm/yr and 8°C, respectively, and a mean elevation difference reaching 1800 m between glaciers in C1 and C5 clusters. In the Wet Andes (36-56°S) the highest differences were observed at the Southern Patagonia Icefield (50°S), with mean annual values for precipitation above 3700 mm/yr (C12, maritime conditions) and below 1000 mm/yr in the east of Southern Patagonia Icefield (C10), and with a difference in mean annual temperature near 4°C and mean elevation contrast of 500 m.

Of the five NPI glaciers studied, San Rafael Glacier showed a net advance, while other glaciers, San Quintin, Steffen, Colonia and Nef retreated during the same period. With additional data of JERS-1 images (1994), different patterns of variations for periods of 1986-94 and 1994-97 are recognized. Of the seven SPI glaciers studied, Pio XI Glacier, the largest in South America, showed a net advance, gaining a total area of 5.66 km2. Two RADARSAT images taken in January and April 1997 revealed a surge-like very rapid glacier advance.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract The Patagonian Icefield has the largest temperate ice mass in the southern hemisphere. Using re- mote sensing techniques, this study analyzed multi-decadal glacial retreat and expansion of glaci- er lakes in Northern Patagonia. Glacial boundaries and glacier lake boundaries for 1979, 1985, 2000, and 2013 were delineated from Chilean topographic maps and Landsat satellite images. As- ter stereo images were used to measure mass balance from 2007 to 2012. The highest retreat was observed in San Quintin glacier. The area of glacier lakes increased from 13.49 km2 in 1979 to 65.06 km2 in 2013. Four new glacier lakes formed between 1979 and 2013. Between 2007 and 2012, significant glacial thinning was observed in major glaciers, including HPN1, Pared Norte, Strindberg, Acodado, Nef, San Quintin, Colonia, HPN4, and Benito glaciers. Generally, ablation zones lost more mass than accumulation zones. Keywords Patagonia, Glaciers, South America, ASTER 1. Introduction Glaciers are key indicators for assessing climate change [1]-[3]. Beginning in the nineteenth century, glaciers in many parts of the world retreated significantly, which was a clear indicator of climate warming [3]-[7].

Glaciers on active volcanoes are subject to changes in both climate fluctuations and vol- canic activity. Whereas many studies analysed changes on individual volcanoes, this study presents for the first time a comparison of glacier changes on active volcanoes on a continental scale. Glacier areas were mapped for 59 volcanoes across Latin America around 1986, 1999 and 2015 using a semi- automated band ratio method combined with manual editing using satellite images from Landsat 4/5/ 7/8 and Sentinel-2. Area changes were compared with the Smithsonian volcano database to analyse pos- sible glacier–volcano interactions. Over the full period, the mapped area changed from 1399.3 ± 80 km2 − to 1016.1 ± 34 km2 (−383.2 km2)or−27.4% (−0.92% a 1) in relative terms.

  • Tournament 33 Round #2
    Tournament 33 Round 2 Tossups 1. One version of this statement was issued while standing on one foot by Hillel in lieu of reciting the entire Torah. A lawyer asks a clarifying question about this teaching in the Gospel of Luke, as worded before the phrase "I am the LORD" in Leviticus 18:19, before the parable of the Good Samaritan. In the synoptic Gospels, Jesus calls this precept the second (*) "great commandment" of the law, after loving God. For 10 points, name this Biblical ethical principle of acting the same way they wish others might act.
