How the Climate Change impacts in glacial geomorphology in Northeastern Antarctic Peninsula!
Use the GIS software to analyze and get maps of my interest area. Use the programming langeage to process the data available:
This is a small gallery from AI when you ask it to express climate change in Antarctica. It was able to create blood, fire, wandering people, sadness, overpopulation on the ice... although it is not possible for the images to be reproduced exactly as they are in reality, this is an artistic sample of AI itself realizing the devastating impacts that man and climate change have had... let us reflect on how we want to live and how we want to leave the future.
Glacier is a perennial mass of ice flowing down over the surface.
It is divided into two zones through the equilibrium line (imaginary): Accumulation zone & Ablation zone.
If a glacier gains more ice mass than it loses, it will be in positive balance. If a glacier loses more mass than it gains, it will be in negative balance.
If it doesnt snow enough and if positive temperatures are frequent and high, a glacier will tend to lose more mass than it gains.

One of the most important aspects of Climate Change is the Global Warming. It´s refers to the long-term rise in temperatures averages. It is primarily caused by human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases.

Why do I mention the ocean?
The ocean is a very important regulator, but not only over the climate. In Antarctica, its frozen or unfrozen condition directly impacts the environment, both ecological and glaciological.
It has been determined that the breaking up of sea ice implies a consequent retreat of glacial fronts.
Since glaciers are important reservoirs of fresh water, we believe it´s important to study and monitor both ocean/sea and sea ice.
