Maybe they need to link up with artist Paul Kos whose performance art is seen at right. His emotive imagery and recordings of ice melting dates all the way back to 1970. Yes, regular man-made ice makes sounds while it melts too. According to the press release, this “research” was also done in a studio, rather than in situ. It’s all about the tiny bubbles escaping it seems, something I’ll bet Don Ho would appreciate.
Hmm, maybe they should team up with these guys and release an album: “City College of New York music professor Jonathan Perl teamed up with City University of New York climate professor Marco Tedesco to create musical soundscapes or “sonifications” that document the changes in the glacial ice in Greenland over the last 54 years.”
Or maybe these guys: “Glaciers are dying, but they are not doing so quietly. The Glacier Music project of the Goethe Institutes in Tashkent and Almaty uses the sounds and powerful emotional image of melting glaciers as source of inspiration for festivals, open calls, concerts, sculpture, video and sound installations.“.
Emotifying ice melt has been a popular pastime with warmists, who have traditionally focused on the supposed plight of polar bears. However, the sound of melting ice is hardly anything new, explorers and the indigenous people of the Arctic have heard it for centuries. With 50 words for snow, I’m betting they even have a word for noisy melting ice since they’d hear it every spring.
Glaciers sizzle as they disappear into warmer water
The sounds of bubbles escaping from melting ice make underwater glacial fjords one of the loudest natural marine environments on earth
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27, 2013 – Scientists have recorded and identified one of the most prominent sounds of a warming planet: the sizzle of glacier ice as it melts into the sea. The noise, caused by trapped air bubbles squirting out of the disappearing ice, could provide clues to the rate of glacier melt and help researchers better monitor the fast-changing polar environments.
Geophysicist Erin Pettit, a researcher at the University of Alaska, had often heard popping, crackling sounds while out kayaking in the frigid northern waters. The sounds were also picked up by underwater microphones Pettit set up off the Alaskan coast, and at a much louder volume than above the surface.
“If you were underneath the water in a complete downpour, with the rain pounding the water, that’s one of the loudest natural ocean sounds out there,” she said. “In glacial fjords we record that level of sound almost continually.”
While Pettit suspected the din was caused by melting ice, she couldn’t confirm that hypothesis without a more controlled experiment. So she enlisted the help of Kevin Lee and Preston Wilson, acoustics experts from the University of Texas. Pettit sent the Texas researchers chunks of glacier, which they mounted in a tank of chilled water. Lee and Wilson recorded video and audio of the ice as it melted and were able to match sounds on the recording to the escape of bubbles from the ice.
“Most of the sound comes from the bubbles oscillating when they’re ejected,” Lee said. “A bubble when it is released from a nozzle or any orifice will naturally oscillate at a frequency that’s inversely proportional to the radius of the bubble,” he said, meaning the smaller the bubble, the higher the pitch. The researchers recorded sounds in the 1 – 3 kilohertz range, which is right in the middle of the frequencies humans hear.
Scientists have known for decades that the bubbles in glaciers form when snow crystals trap pockets of air and then get slowly squashed down under the weight of more snow. As the snow is compacted it turns into ice and the air bubbles become pressurized. The regular way the bubbles form means that they are evenly distributed throughout the ice, an important characteristic if you want to use the sound intensity of bubble squirts to measure ice melt rate.
While the symphony of melting ice might not carry the same emotional wallop as images, sound still has its own, sometimes very loud, story to tell. Pettit and Lee say they could imagine using hydrophone recordings in glacial fjords to monitor relative changes in glacier melting in response to one-time weather events, seasonal changes, and long-term climate trends. Because sound travels long distances underwater, recording microphones can be placed a safe distance from unstable ice sheets. The audio recordings would complement other measurements of ice melt, such as time-lapse photography and salinity readings.
Presentation 4aUW4, “Underwater sound radiated by bubbles released by melting glacier ice,” will take place on Thursday, Dec. 5, 2013, at 9:55 a.m. The abstract describing this work can be found here: http://asa2013.abstractcentral.com/planner.jsp.
Fizzy physics!
Going from pathetic to utter silliness.
The face of (post)modern science.
Add some cow burps and automobile exhaust pipes and we have the start of a symphony.
If a bubble escapes from melting ice in the Arctic and nobody hears it, did the ice relly melt?
‘relly’? I blame small virtual keyboards on tablets rather than my spelling skills.
Pop goes the weasel words.
I can imagine the next Christmas album filled with Arctic woe against a backdrop of whale songs. So which teary doe-eyed actress will they harness this time to gather our collective grief into the sound of money?
Lol – down in Newfoundland/Labrador in Canada the guys take boats out to icebergs and mine them for ice which they sell in their alcoholic beverages exactly for the sound of the ice popping and sizzling! Great ice cubes with the popping sound of nature at her best – that there is private enterprise my dear AGW deadbeats. Making icebergs pay – and they attract tourists by the thousands who also drink the iceberg beverages! That is what I call emotive responses done the Canadian way – fine drinks my friends! Lol! Who says we don’t have a sense of humor?
I’m surprised they don’t make a soundtrack of a nuclear bomb going off and then they could use it for James Hansen’s Hiroshima standard.
Or, they could record the sounds of Manhattan during a busy workday and call it the Manhattan measurement.
Best yet they could record the sounds of a large bull …
Ok, I won’t go there.
Imagine a recording of polar bears drowning because CO2 melted the ice floe they were headed to. It’s not as bad as we thought!
The sizzle of melting glaciers? Ice sizzles when it melts? My artillery ears aren’t good enough any more to hear that. There is a before and after picture show of Alaskan glaciers circulating on Facebook. All the glaciers are gone in the after pictures. So, I suppose by around 2005-2006 (date of afters) all the glaciers in Alaska must have melted.
Huh? When I was in Alaska’s Glacier Bay a while back, the Park Rangers aboard the ship explained that the glacier ice was blue because the air had been squeezed from it.
So is this ice from the unsqueezed upper portions of the ice?
Like Bullwinkle, “I’m so confuuuuuuuzed!”

Otherwise known as “fizzics”.

It’s not the CO2, it’s the other greenhouse gas, H2O, that causes the melting. I have proof:

This is a nice example of how a $ billion per day is being spent on climate.
The rent seeking will not stop until the hypesters are brought to account.
How bloody desperate can they get.
Stop anthropomorphising everything Anthony..
Ice has feelings too you know…….
Why stop at sizzling glaciers? Why not go ahead with exploding glaciers. Followed, of course, by the mandatory “it is worse than we thought” pronouncement and “more money is required” statement.
So… they’ve discovered cavitation?
Recording the sound of rapid arctic ice regrowth and of record antarctic ice growth will be really useful too, surely?
alexwade
But it IS worse than we thought…..
Perhaps even more so…
Try living on a lake. This thing bangs, crashes, pops, booms, echoes, reverberates, thumps, scrapes, roars, and any number of other onomatopoeic words. It freezes typically in early November and melts in April, so the emotional impact of melting ice is completely zero to me.
Looking at the picture the ice could just as well be freezing as melting.
One suspects they have never checked the daily sea ice graphs….around the same average as 79-08.
Should I laugh, or should I cry? All that I know is that for this year, 2013, winter has come one month early for southern Ontario, and our Spring in 2013 was about two months late. When will the global warming come? I am still waiting.

December 1, 2013 at 12:51 pm “ Huh?”
Ice is compressed and the crystals flattened. Apparently, the thickness (thinness?) of the flattened crystal and its interaction with the wavelengths of light generates the color you see. A glaciologist from Austria published a short paper on this (20 years ago + or -) but I don’t remember much about it.
[Recall that folks have been talking about the CO2 in glacial ice for years. There is no reason to suspect all the “air” except CO2 would be squeezed out.]
And the evidence that melting ice in a cooling world sounds differently is ???????
Does water also make sounds when it freezes? If so, is there a way to measure which sound predominates during the course of the year? Only recording the sound of ice when it melts is like only recording the temperature when it goes up.
Has anyone ever noticed that when the alarmist show pictures of the melting glaciers, they will show an early 1900’s picture of the glacier and next picture will almost always be a post 1990 picture. Rarely will they show a series of pictures of the glacier which include, the 1920’s, 1930, and the 1940’s. The reason is that they want to overlook the melting that occurred in the 1920-1940’s. Most of the north american glaciers had significant melting during this time period with comparable volumes of melting to what is seen in more recent times. The rate amount of melting that occurred during the 1920’s to the 1940’s is somewhat contrary to the homogenized temp record from the early half of the 20th century.
Would those sounds be different than those made by an advancing glacier that is scraping the landscape down to bedrock ?
Oh my god, what idiots. This is about the silliest ”scientific discovery” I have ever heard of. Everyone who has ever been near a glacier calving in water is familiar with this sound. By the way it’s not so much a “fizzing” as an endless series of little pops. The gas bubbles in glacier ice are under considerable pressure and burst as the ice melts.
Incidentally this has nothing to do with the sounds that moving sea ice and lake ice makes. That is a quite remarkable variety of booming, groaning and roaring sounds. Sometimes they can be rather beautiful and they certainly have a lot more “emotional wallop” than the popping of glacier ice which is about as exciting as listening to a newly opened soda bottle. However You have to hang around in the cold until they happen to record them so they are probably less popular “research objects”.

There’s nothing like the crunching sound of walking on snow when it gets below -25C. Or tires on snow when it is -40C.
Humans evolved for warm or even hot conditions, the savanna at the height of the noon-day Sun. Not for ice and snow and especially not for Arctic conditions. Our big brains which also developed for hot conditions just happened to be adaptable enough for the icy conditions.
Why are people so upset about some melting glaciers. What exactly lives on glaciers. Nothing.

“Why stop at sizzling glaciers? Why not go ahead with exploding glaciers.”
Actually there are such things. Well, almost. There are “surging” glaciers that periodically start moving forward quite rapidly. I was lucky enough to visit the Perito Moreno glacier in Patagonia once while it was surging. The noise of the moving ice and the large chunks that constantly calve into Lago Argentino is very impressive. However You are not allowed to go close to the iglacier front since you might be hit by flying ice-splinters.
By the way, Perito Moreno is the glacier Patagonian Al Gore mentions as having retreated X kilometers in just a year or two. It always does that after a surge.
Making one sound that is similar to another isn’t science, it’s what special effects technicians do for a living. I can understand why they want to “emotify” the issue, though: strong emotional content engages the limbic system to the expense of the executive frontal cortex – ie histrionics turns off thinking.
“Santa may have to cancel xmas because of the melting ice”
It’s even worse. Soon he won’t have any reindeer. The Conservation authorities are planning to exterminate the reinderr on South Georgia that were introduced by norwegian whalers about 100
years ago, since the destroy the natural vegetation.
Santas reindeer are quite clearly South Georgian ones. Being in the Southern Hemisphere they are the only reindeer where the males have horns in December.
I think Tiny Tim got the emotification down pat, with his”The Ice Caps Are Melting”.
And he did not need a government grant for his performance art.
These rent seekers do not even come close.
So once again proving government grant supported art is junk.
Actually You could argue that this is the sound of a healthy and vigorous glacier. It is only heard from tidewater glaciers that calve a lot of ice into the sea. Once a glacier has retreated onto dry land it just sits there and melts quietly with no fuss.
They didn’t know ice pops and crackles?! I hear it every time I put an ice cube in a hot drink. Talk about stating the obvious in research.
I am waiting for the fully re-mixed and remastered version on 11″ vinyl.
Until then I ain’t buying it.
Night-night beatlflies.
“Glaciers are dying, but they are not doing so quietly. The Glacier Music project of the Goethe Institutes in Tashkent and Almaty uses the sounds and powerful emotional image of melting glaciers as source of inspiration for festivals, open calls, concerts, sculpture, video and sound installations. The project actively promotes the exchange between science and arts and creates awareness about the human-induced deterioration of our pristine environment. The project also reaches out to students through tailored education materials and exhibitions.”
I would not go so far as to call this “educational material.”
Why can’t they be truthful (ok, I know that’s a silly rhetorical question to pose to alarmists) and just position a cash register in the midsts of those microphones? The expected outcome is the same isn’t it?
Ka ching, ka ching, ka ching…
Using the word sizzle to describe the sound of melting ice is like using the word Hendrix to describe the Sound of Music.
siz·zle (szl)

1. To make the hissing sound characteristic of frying fat.
2. To seethe with anger or indignation.
3. To be very hot: a summer day that sizzled.
Pettit’s mouth sizzled as he shut his pie hole.
OK. So we can now add ‘noise pollution’ to the ever expanding list of things caused by ‘climate change’.

I live in Alaska and often marvel at how glaciers have shaped the land here. I am Tlingit, and know from our oral history that the Tlingit have adapted to the natural ebb and flow of glaciers. In more recent history, my great-grandfather, Sitka Charlie (X’aasku) guided John Muir and Reverend Samuel Hall to Glacier Bay in 1879. At this point John Muir “discovered” it. In 1915, Reverend Hall wrote in his book “Alaska Days” that “…Where Vancouver (in the 1790’s) saw only a great crystal wall across the sea, we were to paddle for days up a long and sinuous fiord; and where he saw one glacier, we were to find a dozen”
In the hundred years between Vancouver’s visit and Muir and Hall’s visit glaciers retreated for many miles, and that was natural, but recent withdrawal is attributable to Man’s sin of emission? Color me skeptical.
Chinook Winds
In 1975 my brother was on leave from the Army, and we went to the house my grandfather had built on Flathead Lake, in the northwest corner of Montana. It was the first week of February, and the daytime high was around 16F, with a night time low around 0F. The lake had frozen solid that year, (largest body of fresh water west of the Mississippi ) and the first night there, my brother came in and woke me up because a ‘Chinook Wind’ was coming in. A ‘Chinook’ is when the jet stream drops down in the tropics, and gobbles up a bunch of very warm air before continuing on it’s way. That night, at about 1 am, the ‘Chinook’ blew in, raising temperatures to perhaps the mid 70’sF. We were standing on the dock, marveling at the temperature, when the ice on the lake started cracking. It was the absolute most unnerving sound I have ever heard in my life. The magnitude was such that it was louder than lightning striking within a half mile. It was groaning, screeching, screaming, all at a level that precluded conversation on any level. The hair on my arms, back of my neck, was all straight out — just like a Halloween cat. We stood there in wonder for maybe an hour, when all of a sudden the temperature dropped like a rock, back to seemingly 0F again. (sorry — can’t do ‘degrees’ symbol)
I’m fairly certain had it been a few years later, James Hansen and company would have been on grandad’s dock wringing their hands.
For my money, whatever sounds melting glaciers or icebergs make, it ain’t a pimple on the backside of a cracking lake.
Maybe the tiny bubbles are what inspired this guy’s creative interpretation of early climate science hypotheses.
Now here in the area near Seymour Texas when it real hot we have to wear ear plugs because of the noise the fly wings make due the the high temperatures .
Very rapid high pitched sizzling sound a lot like a glacier ice melting at the bottom of a glacier.
There, see how easy it is to out lie them, we tall tale Texans ain’t gonna play second fiddle to this bunch of long hair hippies….
HEAVY SNOW is just a thing of the present. We must act then!
Fortunately I am retired now, but even more fortunately I had things more productive, interesting, and rewarding to do when I was working than recording and writing about melting ice.
My man-made ice makes a cracking sound when I pour the vodka onto it.

From Trollvinter, by Tove Jansson. (My translation.)
Just before the great cold comes:
“He listened, and thought that the stillness itself had a deep, singing tone. Perhaps it was the ice that froze even deeper down in the sea.”
Climate scientists? The Eco-Green rent-seeking crowd? I’m not aware of any actual ‘life’, however …

I sort of hate to tell you this but there actually is something that lives on glaciers. Supposedly there was a joke that Alaskans played on sourdoughs by claiming there was such a thing in Alaska as an ice worm. Well, guess what? There actually is such a thing as an ice worm and they do live on glaciers and feed on glacial algae. The worm bodies will actually reduce to a liquid form (dare I say, melt?) at temperatures over 41 degrees Fahrenheit.
To be honest I think it would be more amusing to watch (with magnification because they’re pretty tiny) these worms fritter about and cavort on top of the ice then it would be to listen to the ice melt. Heck, I think it’d be more amusing to watch paint dry.
Why are hands/fingers so hard to paint/depict in art ?
Check it, nobody tries.
I can remember recordings of whale songs being sold with the tag line “get them now before all the whales are gone”. That didn’t happen for various reasons one being that cosmetics stopped using whale products and moved onto good petrochemicals, now they are bad petrochemicals, next it will be biochemicals from corn soya etc.

I was in a camp on Chuchi Lake in northern B.C. one winter many years ago, and the Spring breakup was approaching. The lake ice had degraded to the point that it was no longer safe to cross it on a snowmobile. One night, I was awakened by a loud musical tinkling sound, like thousands of tiny bells. Went down to the shoreline, and the ice was on the move. The ice had become recrystallized into “candle ice”, vertically-oriented crystal blades maybe 4 to 6 inches in length, as the wind shifted the ice pack alongshore, these crystals were snapping off the ice beneath them, giving rise to the tinkle, which was quite beautiful to hear and behold. Next morning, we had open water before us.
“The noise, caused by trapped air bubbles squirting out of the disappearing ice, could provide clues to the rate of glacier melt and help researchers better monitor the fast-changing polar environments.”
