Icequakes in Antarctica Linked to 2010 Chile Earthquake

Nature World: The 8.8-magnitude earthquake that shook Chile in 2010 also rattled ice in Antarctica, a new study reveals. Georgia Institute of Technology researchers, who conducted the latest study, show that distant seismic activity also affects ice in the frozen continent. The 2010 earthquake occurred about 3,000 miles away from Antarctica. At least 300 people were killed and some two million people were affected by the quake. In the current study, the researchers obtained seismic data from 42 stations...

Atlantic Ocean warming linked to Pacific trade winds
2014-08-10 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: New research has found rapid warming of the Atlantic Ocean, likely caused by global warming, has turbocharged Pacific Equatorial trade winds. Currently the winds are at a level never before seen on observed records, which extend back to the 1860s. The increase in these winds has caused eastern tropical Pacific cooling, amplified the Californian drought, accelerated sea level rise three times faster than the global average in the Western Pacific and has slowed the rise of global average surface...

Tornado strength and frequency could be linked to climate change study
2014-08-09 14:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: More severe, multiple tornadoes are ravaging the US than in previous years, a study has found. New research by lead author Professor James Elsner, from Florida State University, has found these destructive vortexes could be linked to global warming. Published this week in the journal Climate Dynamics, Elsner explains how although weather data shows tornadoes are forming fewer days per year, there are more forming at the same time and they are stronger than before. The researchers studied 60...

More severe tornado outbreaks may be linked to climate change
2014-08-08 12:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CBS: Climate change may be playing a role in the strength and frequency of tornadoes, a new study suggests. Research published in the journal Climate Dynamics finds that although tornadoes are occurring fewer days per year than they used to, they are forming at greater density and strength. This means that on days when tornadoes do form, there tend to be more of them and they're often more powerful. The United States experiences more tornadoes than any other country in the world. They can happen...
