Few Caribou Births in Greenland Linked to Sea Ice Melt
2013-10-02 20:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Melting sea ice in Greenland may be leading to fewer caribou births and higher calf mortality, according to new research linking the loss of sea ice with changes of the timing of plant growth on land. Researchers from Penn State University report that sea ice melt spurs the early growth of plants, which goes on to affect the feeding patterns of caribou. The caribou are reportedly bearing fewer offspring, which the researchers, writing in journal Nature Communications, link to the sea ice melt....

Climate Change Linked Higher Chemical Load in Polar Bear Diet
2013-09-20 15:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Polar bears are changing their diets to adapt to climate change, a new study has found. Researchers also found that a change in the diet has led to increase in toxic chemicals in the bears' bodies. The study was conducted by researchers from the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, Aarhus University (Denmark) and their colleagues. The team found that the diet of polar bears has changed over the past few decades and their tissue samples are showing high levels of contaminants. Polar bears...

Ocean Mixing in Drake Passage Linked to Climate
2013-09-20 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: The Drake Passage, also known as the Mar de Hoces, or sea of Hoces is the channel of water located between the southern tip of South America and the Antarctic continent. Known for its powerful waves and stormy weather, this area has been the focus for research concerning how deep and mid-depth ocean waters are mixed. Because of undersea mountains that are located under these icy waters, new research has shown that sea water mixes dramatically when it rushes over these landforms. This consequently...
