Greenland claims the second largest ice cap in the world, smaller only than Antarctica's on the other side of the globe. The ice cap reaches a maximum height of 3700 m at Gunnbjorn, while the land under the ice is pressed into a concave basin, extending to altitudes below sea level. Ice-free land is restricted to the coastal fringes, which is considered in two biogeographic divisions : the high and the low arctic tundra.  2, record 3, English, - ice%2Dfree%20land

There are only four basic kinds of stratigraphic traps : unconformities, porosity permeability pinchouts, reefs, and drape structures.... Reef Traps. Reefs are productive in many parts of the world. Many types exist, such as atolls, table reefs, pinnacle reefs, barrier reefs, fringing reefs, biostromes, and bioherms. They occur as small dome like features that may be reflected in the overlying sediments by drape.... The size of a reef ranges from a few acres to several square miles. Seismic exploration is the best way to find reefs. The reef core grows upward and usually outward as the sea level rises. Detrital reef material falls on the ocean side, forming the fore reef. The back reef is formed on the lagoon or quiet side by deposition of limestone and lime mud...  1, record 4, English, - reef%20trap

Stratigraphic traps are traps created by the limits of the reservoir rock itself, without any structural control. ... Stratigraphic reef traps are amongst the most important type of trap in Alberta, where reefs of Devonian age, formed mainly of stromatoporoids host much of the petroleum. They became ideal traps when a change in the regional environment caused the reefs to be buried by muds, forming an impermeable seal and cap rock.  2, record 4, English, - reef%20trap

Initially this programme was called the World Climate Impact Studies Programme(WCIP), overall objective of which was to assess the sensitivity of socio-economic sectors to climate variability and change. In 1991, additional task of developing options for socio-economic response strategies related to climate variability and change was added to the programme. The main thrusts of WCIRP include :(i) testing of methodologies for national climate impact and sea level rise assessment;(ii) providing coordination of national climate impact and response strategies programmes;(iii) improved techniques for making inventories of sources and sinks of greenhouse gases;(iv) developing techniques for national response strategies;(v) improving public information; and(vi) air quality assessment and air pollution mitigation strategies.  4, record 5, English, - World%20Climate%20Impact%20Assessment%20and%20Response%20Strategies%20Programme

The Global Sea Level Observing System(GLOSS) is an international programme coordinated by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission(IOC) for the establishment of high quality global and regional sea level networks for application to climate, oceanographic and coastal sea level research. The programme became known as GLOSS as it provides data for deriving the ’Global Core Network’(GCN) of 287 sea level stations around the world for long term climate change and oceanographic sea level monitoring.  4, record 6, English, - Global%20Sea%20Level%20Observing%20System

Volumes of ocean basins change, ridges expand, thereby displacing enough water to account for rises in seal level of 300 m(e. g. Cretaceous), as long as all ridges either expanded or contracted simultaneously around the world. However, the rate of sea level change that can result from this mechanism is slow and cannot account for the frequency of cycles or paracycles.  1, record 7, English, - paracycle
