Source sentences:
text: A negative mass balance indicates that a glacier has lost ice or snow.
text: If glaciers lose more ice than they can accumulate through new snowfall, they ultimately add more water to the oceans, leading to a rise in sea level (see the Sea Level indicator).
text: Ablation Zone: Where the glacier loses ice through melting, calving, and evaporation
text: In this zone, the glacier loses ice.
text: During the more recent interval, glaciers are losing ice twice as fast on average ( Fig. 2B ), though this varies somewhat between subregions.
text: Globally glaciers are losing ice at an extensive rate (Figure 1).
text: Why do glaciers lose ice?
text: May. The part of the year when glaciers lose more ice than they gain is the ablation season, generally from June through September.
text: Conversely, when a glacier loses more ice than it gains, it retreats.
text: But with global temperatures rising, many glaciers are losing more ice than they’re gaining, meaning the world’s glaciers are shrinking.
