You're very glacial this morning. Are you surprised?

If earth will go into the Glacial period,what will you prepare.

And we wanted to find out and we see all kinds of glacial features on it.

Situated in a very fragile mountain ecosystem, Bhutan is prone to glacial floods and other natural disasters, including earthquakes.

Unfortunately, the IMF s rebalancing efforts are proceeding at a glacial pace. At the World Bank, nothing seems to be happening at all.

Major disasters to which Nepal is vulnerable, in addition to earthquakes, include floods, drought, landslides, epidemics, glacial lake outburst floods, fire and ecological hazards.

And so this is constructed out of a heat reflected material that serves to mediate the difference in temperature between the human body and the glacial ice.

And just as with the wall, how I wanted to be more wall like, with this project, I'd actually like to take more a of glacial pace.

The glacial silence we have experienced in the face of the shredding of the constitution, the unraveling of our public institutions, the deterioration of our infrastructure is not limited to the universities.

We hit the last glacial maximum around 16,000 years ago, but basically, from 70,000 years on, things were getting really tough, getting very cold. The Northern Hemisphere had massive growing ice sheets.

For tens of thousands of years our ancestors understood the world through myths, and the pace of change was glacial. The rise of scientific understanding transformed the world within a few centuries. Why? Physicist David Deutsch proposes a subtle answer.

The terrestrial applications related mainly to agriculture (soil erosion, deforestation, land use planning and siltation), geology and hydrogeology (river bank erosion, groundwater management), the mitigation of natural hazards (landslides, glacial lake outbursts, snow avalanches, debris flows, floods etc.), meteorology, pollution and urbanization.

12. Encourages Governments, the international community and other relevant stakeholders to improve the awareness, preparedness and infrastructure to cope with the increasing impact of disasters in mountain regions, such as flash floods, including glacial lake outburst floods, as well as landslides, debris flow and earthquakes

And then a few days later, we had the opportunity to go fishing in a glacial stream near our campsite, where the fish were so abundant that you could literally reach into the stream and grab out a foot long trout with your bare hands.

According to the report, climate models forecasted the best estimate value of sea level rise to be about 50 cm over the next century (with a range of 13 to 94 cm), taking into account water expansion attributable to heating and glacial and polar melting.

Indeed, for all the characterization of China as a despotic state that one hears from the political right in the United States, its president enjoys fewer powers than his American counterpart. Gaining consensus in China is a glacial process that will not be accomplished in a single speech.

At the end of 2012, when Hoenig started to publish his US GAAP IFRS adjustment, the average for the largest US banks was roughly 4 equity. It is possible to argue that this key measure is moving in the right direction, but the pace of improvement is glacial at best.

In the West, Afghanistan and what Henry Kissinger calls Islamist Jihadists challenges the international order. In the East, a large number of Chinese troops have entered Pakistani held territory high in the mountain fastness of the Kashmir Karakorams, in the picturesque Gilgit Baltistan region, not far from the glacial battlefield of Siachen, where India and Pakistan confront each other.

A relatively small amount of melting beneath the Amundsen Sea s ice shelf has pushed its grounding line to the top of a sub glacial hill, from which it is now rolling down. Simply put, one thermal kick was enough to initiate an internal dynamic that will now continue under its own momentum, regardless of any action that humans might take to prevent it.

After he swam the North Pole, Lewis Pugh vowed never to take another cold water dip. Then he heard of Lake Imja in the Himalayas, created by recent glacial melting, and Lake Pumori, a body of water at an altitude of 5300 m on Everest and so began a journey that would teach him a radical new way to approach swimming and think about climate change.
