This intensive farming is only possible because of the huge quantities of meltwater flooding down from the peaks.

And as the ice sheet retreated north, meltwater filled in the depressions, forming the Great Lakes.

随着冰盖向北退去，融水 充满了洼地，形成了五大湖。

Computer modeling suggested that increased precipitation and warming boosted the amount of meltwater by 50% before the surges.

计算表明，降水增加和变暖使融水量在激增前增加了 50%。

But glacial meltwater also creates some of Alaska's most fantastical landscapes, like this one, the Copper River Delta.

但冰川融水也创造了阿拉斯加一些最奇幻的景观，例如铜河三角洲。

The meltwater deposits thousands of tons of nutrient-rich silt into the delta each year, building mudflats 600 feet deep.

融水每将数千吨富含营养的淤泥沉积到三角洲中，形成 600 英尺深的泥滩。

When glaciers melt along the coast, rounded depressions flood with a mix of seawater and glacial meltwater, creating fertile ecosystems called fjord estuaries.

当海岸沿线的冰川融化时，圆形洼地积满海水和冰川融水的混物，创造出肥沃的生态系统——即峡湾河口。

Huge meltwater rivers thunder into the ocean, where they add to the rising sea levels that are beginning to flood the world's coastlines.

巨大的融水河流轰隆隆地流入海洋，加剧了海平面的上升，海平面已经开始淹没世界的海岸线。

But removing that meltwater beneath the glaciers caused their ice to bottom out on rock again, slowed the ice back to its historical norms.

但是，清除冰川下方的融水导致它们的冰块再次触底反弹，使冰层缓慢恢复到曾经的水平。

Horizontal glaciers are formed when farmers redirect glacier meltwater into channels and pipes, then carefully siphon it off into a series of basins made from stones and earth.

农民将冰川融水引流到管道中，然后小心翼翼地把水抽进用石头和泥土砌成的一些凹地中。

The meltwater enters channels that run downhill, flowing until it reaches a crop site where it bursts forth from a pipe pointing straight into the air.

冰川融水进入沿山坡而下的管道，一直流到田地附近，从管道的末端喷出，射向空中。

Scientists in Canada say the increasing amount of meltwater from the Arctic make it more likely that viruses once locked up in the Ice could, in fact, local wildlife.

加拿大科学家表示，来自北极的融水越来越多，这使得曾经被锁在冰中的病毒更有可能伤害当地的野生生物。

That is a problem for those who rely on meltwater from them to irrigate their crops: farmers living in the valleys above Leh, in Jammu and Kashmir, for example.

这对依赖雪水灌溉作物的人们来说可是一个大问题，住在列城上面、査漠和克什米尔的农民们就遇到了这个难题。

Warm, humid environments-- where they can discharge heat in steady streams of meltwater Models predict that glaciers that don't meet these conditions are more prone to surge.

温暖潮湿的环境——它们可以在稳定的融水流中释放热量预测，不满足这些条件的冰川更容易激增。
