ice sheet

基本解释

Melt along the southern edge of Greenland's ice sheet is now moving up its northwest coast, a new study shows.
一项新的研究表明，格陵兰冰盖南部沿线的冰融如今正蔓延到它的西北海岸线。
These findings have led to claims that a 2.5mile long comet or asteroid smashed into the ice sheet covering what is now Canada and the northern US.
这些发现得出了这样一个结论，即2.5英里长的彗星或者小行星猛烈撞击了现今加拿大和美国北部覆盖的冰层。
The Greenland ice sheet has survived natural warmer periods in history, the last about 120, 000 years ago, although it was much smaller then than it is now.
格陵兰冰盖在历史上经历过多个自然温暖时期（最后一次是约120,000年以前）依然幸存，尽管那时它比现在小得多。

As a result, the sea is eating away the edge of the ice sheet at a faster rate.
ECONOMIST: The science
The ice sheet's recent rate of loss—around 200 gigatonnes a year—represents a fourfold increase on a decade ago.
ECONOMIST: The science
But it did not destabilise the ice sheet or provide a new reason to worry about rising sea levels.
ECONOMIST: A meltdown tinged with acid

冰盖
Mass balance of Antarctic ice sheet and mean sea level are the factors in global change study.
南极冰盖的物质平衡和海平面变化是全球变化研究的一个重要内容。

冰排
The ice force-time curve, the stress distribution in the ice sheet and the response of the pier will be got easily.
用此方法可以比较方便的得到随时间变化的冰力曲线、闸墩在各时刻的响应以及冰排中的应力分布。
