Climatic and glaciological influences on suspended sediment transport from an
alpine glacier. In: Peters, N.E., and Walling, D.E., eds.
Studies of
alpine glaciers and ice caps in northern Canada indicate that most have been in retreat for several decades (Koerner, 1989).
In 1962 Siffre spent 63 days 350ft under an
Alpine glacier. In 1972 he lived alone for 205 days in a deep cave in Texas.
Significant melting of
alpine glaciers has occurred since the last significant exploration program over 20 years ago, particularly on the north and west sides of the Property.
New mineralized exposure from melting
alpine glaciers, coupled with an improved understanding of the structural geological setting has helped refine the drill plan, including westerly oriented drill holes.
GENEVA, July 8 (KUNA) -- With unprecedented heatwave and record-breaking temperatures in Europe, many people have to wonder about relevant reflections on accumulated snow and
Alpine glaciers. Due to snowmelt, there would be major environmental changes that could actually become a turning point in the history of humanity.
These changes are affecting us in many ways: 1) Weather is becoming extreme and unpredictable, 2) The number and intensity of natural disasters are increasing, 3) Continental and
alpine glaciers are melting and becoming smaller.
Famiglietti noted that while water loss in some regions, like the melting ice sheets and
alpine glaciers, is clearly driven by warming climate, it will require more time and data to determine the driving forces behind other patterns of freshwater change.
