  "id": "MLC-T-MET-004903",
  "term": "Deglaciation",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The widespread retreat of glaciers and ice sheets, typically occurring at the end of an ice age or during warmer interglacial periods. This process involves the melting and calving of ice, leading to rising sea levels and changes in global climate patterns. Evidence of past deglaciation is found in geological records such as moraines and glacial striations.",
