Times of India: This could be worrisome for Himalayan glaciers. A team from Jawaharlal Nehru University has found significantly accelerated ice melting on Chhota Shigri glacier in Lahaul and Spiti over the last 10 years. The JNU team, which has been studying the glacier for several years to understand the impact of climate change, has used meteorological data of 40 years to extrapolate the pace of ice-melt on the glacier. This is the first scientific study to have monitored a Himalayan glacier for four decades...

Ocean storms can influence sea ice break-up, warns study
2014-06-01 12:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Ocean waves larger than 3 metres in height can travel hundreds of kilometres below the ice before dispersing, scientists have shown. These higher waves have been gradually breaking up the surface of sea ice, highlighting the importance of monitoring sea storms. A New Zealand-led team has been running experiments off the coast of Antarctica, placing sensors along inward routes following the dispersal of the waves. At the ice edge, its quite noisy, Alison Kohout, leader of the team based out...

New NHTSA Study Shows Motor Vehicle Crashes Have $871 Billion Impact on U.S. Citizens
2014-05-31 20:02:52| AutomotiveDigest.com - Automotive Industry News
The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a new study that underscores the high economic toll and societal impact of motor vehicle crashes in the United States. The price tag for crashes comes at a heavy burden for Americans at $871 billion in economic loss and societal harm. "No amount of money can replace the life of a loved one, or stem the suffering associated with motor vehicle crashes," said U.S. Secretary Anthony Foxx. "While the economic and societal costs of crashes are staggering, today's report clearly demonstrates that investments in safety are worth every penny used to reduce the frequency and severity of these tragic events."
