The article explores the Dee Estuary, a tidal landscape that serves as a physical border between Wales and England. The estuary is a shifting and transitional place, neither fully land nor sea. The walk along the estuary reveals the historical significance of the area, including the ruins of Flint Castle and the former trade and industrial activity that took place along the estuary. Despite its initial bleak appearance, the estuary is home to diverse species and offers unique beauty. The article also highlights the vulnerability of estuaries to erosion and the challenges faced by the surrounding communities in preserving and revitalizing the area. [Extracted from the article]

The Copernicus C3S is part of the EU's Earth Observation Programme which comes under the stewardship of the European Space Agency (ESA). If UK contribution to Copernicus is indeed sidelined next year, with instructions to wind down the UK arm of the project, Shepherd warned: "The decision has come a time when we need to understand what is happening in our atmosphere. The minister blamed the EU for the decision and stated that the Government was ready to ringfence Copernicus funding and create a "UK uplift" for a major Plan B replacement with "global partners".

Some parts of the glacier rest on top of smooth, flat bedrock - the kind of topography that may help facilitate short bursts of intense glacier retreat, according to the new stud. Melting glaciers may be capable of shrinking much faster than scientists previously thought, according to a new study that adds to concerns about rapidly melting Antarctic ice, including the massive Thwaites Glacier, often called the "Doomsday Glacier" for its potential effect on sea-level rise.

A global tally of glacial lake outburst floods compiled in 2016 by Fiona Tweed at Staffordshire University and Jonathan Carrivick of the University of Leeds, found 1,384 events in the past thousand years. Even seven weeks after the flood, turbidity levels - which measure how much sediment clouds the water - in the Southgate River were up to 32 times higher at the affected area than they were farther upstream, where the flood didn't reach. The triggering events in some glacial lake outburst floods - landslides - are also thought to occur more often in a warming world with more frequent severe weather. If a large landslide crashes into the lake, the water can rush out in a glacial lake outburst flood. [Extracted from the article]

In addition to the three climbers already mentioned - Kellas, Mallory and Raeburn - the team was strengthened by the last-minute addition of Guy Bullock, a climber known to Mallory. DEPARTMENT Prelude There were three British expeditions to Everest in the 1920s: 1921, 1922 and 1924. In 1905, Curzon wrote again to Freshfeld, pledging up to 3,000 pounds toward climbing Everest or Kangchenjunga; he included photos of Everest taken during Younghusband's military incursion in Tibet in 1903. Kellas, in his 1920 manuscript "A Consideration of the Possibility of Ascending Mount Everest", calculated that humans could ascend Everest without oxygen. [Extracted from the article]

The Beartooths' largest glacier is Castle Rock Glacier, curled on the plateau far away from threading trails. One morning, I saw the biggest black bear of my life between slats of lodgepole beside Silver Lake, fed off Grasshopper Glacier, both of us with nothing on our backs but the gray magic before dawn. The cinders land on the next bluff over, tearing into fir and lodgepole and old giants of white-bark pine. Glacier just won't be Glacier without glaciers, people say, weighing the loss of a namesake as much as the great slabs of ice themselves. [Extracted from the article]

Some of us - a few - collect glaciers and icebergs in the paintings we make of them; at least one of us collected the autographs of artists. Whether it's glaciers or painting or scrapbooking, we'll go to the ends of the Earth - to the antipodes - for our passions. Paige accepted their criticisms but kept at it until they were satisfied, and when Byrd announced he was heading back to the South Pole in 1934, Paige applied to be the expedition artist. Muir Glacier is the subject of a painting by California painter Thomas Hill (1829-1908). [Extracted from the article]

DEPARTMENT IN THE 1964 FILM Kashmir Ki Kali, Rajiv Lal, the scion of a wealthy family of industrialists from a metropolis on the Indian plains, finds himself under pressure to marry advantageously and embark into gainful, grey adulthood. As Kashmir Ki Kali echoes Junglee (wealthy urbanite finds personal release and romance in the Kashmir Valley), so many of the Kashmir films repeat each other thematically. Love in Kashmir was a prolific cinematic meme, one which, as Kabir observes, framed the Kashmir Valley as a "national playground" for youthful, urban, postcolonial India. A day later, Vice reported that film associations in Mumbai had received a wave of applications to register prospective movie titles including "Tricolour in Kashmir", a reference to the Indian flag, and "Kashmir is Ours.".

CLIMATE Antarctica's most vulnerable climate hot spot is a remote, hostile place - a sliver of seawater beneath a slab of floating ice more than half a kilometer thick. The floating front of the glacier, the ice shelf, extends many kilometers out onto the ocean, creating a roof of ice that makes the grounding zone nearly inaccessible. Much of Thwaites' ice loss is driven by warm, salty ocean currents that destabilize the glacier at its grounding zone, where the ice lifts off the seafloor and begins to float.

The Arctic is melting fast. The world needs to wake up to just how fast, and what the impacts will be, says Adam Vaughan [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

That's where volcanoes and glaciers enter the picture,because one of the things Mix's cores reveal is anextended low-oxygen event at the end of the last Ice Age,roughly 17,000 to 10,000 years ago. What really matters, Mix and Du say, is what the new findteaches about oceans, global warming, and the potentialunintended consequences of possible efforts to protectthe planet. Earth Proposals to offset climate change via seabed ironfertilisation might capture vast amounts of carbondioxide from the air, but it might kill the ocean. [Extracted from the article]

(Bloomberg) -- The world's shrinking glaciers contain less ice than previously estimated, according to a ground-breaking study that has significant implications for global water supplies as climate change accelerates. Scientists for the first time measured the thickness and movement of more than 250,000 mountain glaciers using new satellite imaging techniques. [Extracted from the article]
