冰川是地球水循环的一部分，其含水量仅次于海洋。
Glaciers are part of Earth's hydrologic cycle and are second only to the oceans in the total amount of water contained.
在室外，它会影响季风循环，加速冰川融化，几乎等价于长期温室气体的影响。
Outside, it can alter monsoon cycles, speed glacial melting, and almost equal the impact of longer-term greenhouse gasses.
碳循环影响了山脉夷为海洋的速度，海水深度循环有助于控制冰川消逝和流动，诸如此类。
The carbon cycle influences the rate at which mountains weather down into seas, the deep circulation of ocean waters helps govern the ebb and flow of ice sheets, and so on.
“海洋生态系统是由多种资源孕育而非单一依靠冰川，”胡德说，“例如，洋面上升是一种自然循环现象，富含养分的冷水从海底升起，滋养了海面的生物。 但是，由于冰川的融化而导致大量淡水突如其来涌入海洋，这可能会破坏洋流的正常循环。”
But a sudden influx of fresh water from melting ice could also disrupt the ocean currents that drive upwelling.
季节性雪盖和冰川是全球水循环中的重要成分，监测季节性雪覆盖的范围以及冰川的堆积和消融地带，对于理解全球水循环是十分必要的。
Seasonal snow cover and glacier are important components of global water cycling. Thus, it is necessary to monitor the seasonal snow cover, the depositing and melting of the glacier.
当然，这种循环不能完全解释当下发生的情况，因此还有其他因素或许会助推冰川迅速消亡。
Such feedback, though, does not completely explain what is happening. Hence the search for other things that might assist the ice's rapid disappearance.
