embayment

1 “Here, why don’t the girl let in some air these hot nights?” he continued, as he crossed the room towards the big embayment, with its stained glass heraldic device.

2 Research in the past decade has shown that the Amundsen Sea embayment of West Antarctica might have passed a tipping point3: the ‘grounding line’ where ice, ocean and bedrock meet is retreating irreversibly.

3 We were more than halfway through the survey before the echo sounder detected any krill—a patch of the crustaceans suspended above the seafloor in the shallow waters of the embayment.

4 Both maidens stood in the embayment of the window—endeavouring, with their glances, to penetrate the darkness outside.

5 Instead, its aircraft returned with the first aerial views of the embayment.

6 “It’s my opinion that it was the former,” said Brace, gazing back at the little embayment they had just passed.

7 He turned into an embayment over a pier of the bridge he was crossing, and sat down to think.

8 The biggest rates of ice loss seen in the Amundsen embayment imply that some of those ice shelves, if they continue at the same rates, could be gone within a century.

9 The nearby beaches may supply sediment for the embayment during storm surges, by causing bed-load and suspended-load transport of the beach material towards deeper waters.

10 As is evident from the photo, the rips correspond with embayments in the beach profile.

11 While geographically separated, these coastal embayments are connected by a common biophysical trait that binds them together as the world searches for a way to address the growing climate crisis.

12 Researchers like Hughes have been raising concerns for nearly 50 years about the glaciers that flow into Pine Island Bay and the surrounding Amundsen Sea embayment.

13 The Rancocus River forms here a broad embayment, the damming of which was easily accomplished, and one of the best of water-privileges was thus obtained.

14 And soon they paired, each pair passing into the embayment of a window, and there taking stand.

15 Its shores and those of the big tributary embayments—"drowned rivers," they have been called—are thickly sprinkled with traces and remembrances of three and a half centuries' people and events.

16 The ice shelves in the Amundsen Sea embayment were the most vulnerable to melting by 2100 because of the typography under the ocean.

17 The researchers decided to use the unexpected stop to map the krill and DMS concentrations in a shallow embayment on the island's north side.

18 The primary coastline of the port was bedrock embayment and composed of Mesozoic granite.

19 The only thing preventing it from flowing directly into the Amundsen Sea embayment is a shelf of floating ice that sticks out from the glacier’s edge.

20 These have seen some fairly pronounced thinning and retreat of ocean-terminating glaciers in the west of the continent - a region known as the Amundsen Sea embayment.
