text: Glaciers gain mass through snowfall and lose mass through melting and sublimation (when water evaporates directly from solid ice).
text: Year-to-year trends vary, with some glaciers gaining mass in certain years (for example, Wolverine Glacier during the 1980s), but the measurements clearly indicate a loss of glacier mass over time.
text: Traditionally, determining whether a glacier is gaining or losing mass involves measuring the change in mass at specific sites with snow stakes and snow pits, and then extrapolating these point values over the entire glacier surface.
text: A subsequent study likewise found that the western portion of South Asia is the one region in the world where glaciers are slightly gaining mass (Zemp et al. 2019).
text: The glacier gained mass from October through January as ice continued to move downstream to replace the lost mass.
text: Glaciers in the coastal environments on the edge of the Arctic or Antarctic shed and gain mass rapidly, a high mass turnover that is particularly sensitive to climate change.
text: Among the notable effects of glacier flow are erosion and sedimentation of Earth's surface and variations in sea level as glaciers lose or gain mass.
text: Glaciers gain mass through accumulation of snowfall and through re-freezing of meltwater but lose mass (termed ablation) through surface melt, basal melt, sublimation and iceberg calving (Figure 2, right).
text: A glacier may also gain mass from the refreezing of meltwater at its base.
