What do you call a scientist that studies glaciers?
glaciologist.
What tools do glaciologist use?
They wear crash helmets and full body harnesses. They also use high tech equipment to measure the ice
How much money does glaciologist make?
Glaciologist are people that study ice ages and glaciation. They probaly get paid alot if they travel to cold places to study glaciers. I would say at least $70,000 if they travled because they probably have to take a huge risk to study glaciers. It depends on what you do in your job but i dont know exactly how much they get paid at all. It might not even be alot of money so if i were you i would find a job that makes more money. If you really love your job then keep doing what you do. People that study glaciers please answer this question because some people would like to know how much money you make so set up a good example for them because they might want to be a glaciologist some day.

How many tons a day are the glaciers melting The History Channel said 100s of million of tons per day. Is that possible?
552 billion tons lost from the Greenland ice sheet in 2007.This is just ONE region. Not the entire globe. Some regions lose for a part of the season and others gain. Some of that ice presumably returns in the winter.An accurate estimate of ice loss would be critical to figuring how much heat is being absorbed by melting ice relative to the heat gained from solar radiation (the scientific models suggest 4 Watts per square meter of planet surface is enough to create a problem). So the very pertinent question is totally appropriate and an answer is essential for the Anthropogenic Global Warming models.A:The number of tons does not transmit the reality of the size and extension of the glaciers that are melting and gone. Arctic sea ice during the 2007 melt season has reached its lowest levels since the beginning of measurements in 1979, this was informed by the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado at Boulder.The average amount of sea ice registered by satellite for the month of September was 4.28 million square kilometers (1.65 million square miles), the lowest in any September record, 23% less ice than in 200.There is not any considerable gain in sea ice or glaciers anywhere in the world according to official studies and the World Meteorological Organization. The decreasing amount of the ice caps is a cause of concern and is endangering the Arctic and Antarctic environments as well as the sea levels at global scale and the speeding of flooding and eventual destruction of low-lying islands and coastal areas.Jeffrey Kargel, a glacier expert at the U.S. Geological Survey in Flagstaff, Arizona, stated recently that "Receding and wasting glaciers are a chief telltale sign that global climate change is real and accelerating."The melt rate of the 160,000 glaciers on Earth, has accelerated dramatically since the mid-1990s. A measured glacier in the Peruvian Andes, Qori Kalis, lost as much ice in one week as it used to lose in one year, reported Lonnie Thompson, a geologist at the Byrd Polar Research Center at Ohio State University in Columbus, who in a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science added that "You can literally sit there and watch it retreat. As the Peruvian ice fields disappear, sources of irrigation and hydroelectric power will dry up."Glaciers are not only decreasing in area but also in thickness. In Alaska, glaciers are losing an average of 6 feet (1.8 meters) of thickness each year according to a report by Anthony Arendt, a glaciologist at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. He also predicted that at the present rate, by the middle of this century there will be almost no ice at the Rockies, the Cascades, and Glacier National Park.Studies based on thousands of aerial photographs and satellite imaging, show that on the past 50 years, 84% of Antarctic glaciers have retreated, said David Vaughan of the British Antarctic Survey at Cambridge in a report. The average retreat was 1,970 feet (600 meters) since 1953 but there are some glaciers as the Sjogren Glacier that retreated as much as 8 miles (13 kilometers) since 1993.A small number of glaciers that advanced on average 980 feet (300 meters) in the Antarctic peninsula in the last 50 years, are attributed to the newly created variations and compensation of temperature areas, and are considered as with no impact on the much larger scale and amplitude of the melting and receding glaciers, which is considered of great global impact.The above official and scientific studies and conclusions, refer to all glaciers, including glacier-ice shelves connected to the land-based glacier from which they flowed, as well as tidewater glaciers that rest on land and break off into the ocean.Experts in catastrophes and natural disasters have warned that not only the melting of the Arctic and Antarctic glaciers present a global menace but also the melting of glaciers in the Andes and the Himalayas, that feed the main rivers and water supply to large regions, can lead, once the glaciers are gone, to water shortage for hundreds of millions of people, a true global catastrophe.
When was Fritz Müller - glaciologist - born?
Fritz Müller - glaciologist - was born in 1926.
When did Fritz Müller - glaciologist - die?
Fritz Müller - glaciologist - died in 1980.
What kind of tools do glaciologist?
study
What kind of tools do glaciologist use?
Glaciologists use a variety of tools such as ice drills, ground-penetrating radar, GPS devices, drones, satellite imagery, and seismometers to study glaciers. These tools help them collect data on ice thickness, movement, and composition, as well as monitor changes in glaciers over time.
What do you call a scientist that studies glaciers?
glaciologist.
If you were a glaciologist what work would you do?
Areas of study within glaciology include glacial history and the reconstruction of past glaciation. A glaciologist is a person who studies glaciers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaciology
What might be a job of a glaciologist?
study the history of glaciers and how long they were created
How long do you have to go to school to be a glaciologist?
Generally Geography, Earth Sciences or Physics.
What is the name of a scientist who studies ice?
hydrologist(Water) or glaciologist(glaciers)or meteorology(weather)which all involve snow and ice.It should have its own branch,but it doesn't which is stupid(my opinion).
