Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This dossier presents graphs and tables about global glaciers and sea ice. Glaciers occur on land and are made up of falling snow that has been compacted into ice over thousands of years. The ice movement from land to the sea causes the global sea-level rise. As the water freezes and the ice cover expands in the autumn and winter, the amount of sea ice changes dramatically, followed by a period of melting and retreat in the spring and summer.This dossier is part of a series of dossiers on the impacts of climate change
