Scientists Piece Together the Puzzle of Earth's Last Ice Age
2014-06-03 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: It seems blatantly obvious that an extremely cold climate spurred Earth's last Ice Age - officially known as the "Last Glacial Maximum" (LGM) - but scientists have long suspected that other factors were at play, and are just now piecing together the rest of the puzzle. "We have all these scattered pieces of information about changes in the ocean, atmosphere, and ice cover," Raffaele Ferrari, the Breene M. Kerr Professor of Physical Oceanography in MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary...
Underwater waves are the Earth's 'lumbering giants'
2014-05-23 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
USA Today: A 70-foot wave is a terrifying wall of water that only the best surfers can ride. But it's a midget compared with the colossal and mysterious waves that lurk under the ocean's surface. These underwater waves, though seldom noticed, can rival skyscrapers in height and measure more than 100 miles wide. They can imperil submarines and disrupt operations on offshore oil platforms. They've been photographed by astronauts in orbit, and they've been cursed by bewildered sailors. Scientists are gaining...

Huge Hole in Earths Detergent Layer Found Over Pacific
2014-04-14 20:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: It turns out the hole in the now famous ozone layer above the South Pole isnt the only hole in the atmosphere. Researchers recently discovered, to their considerable surprise, that the atmosphere above part of the western tropical Pacific Ocean is nearly devoid of one of the key chemicals that scrubs pollutants from the air. This newfound hole occurs naturally over thousands of kilometers in one of the most remote places on the planet (which accounts for its having gone unnoticed until now) and...

Into the abyss: Scientists explore one Earth's deepest ocean trenches
2014-04-11 02:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
TG Daily: What lives in the deepest part of the ocean--the abyss? A team of researchers funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) will use the world's only full-ocean-depth, hybrid, remotely-operated vehicle, Nereus, and other advanced technology to find out. They will explore the Kermadec Trench at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The trench, located off New Zealand, is the fifth deepest trench in the world. Its maximum depth is 32,963 feet or 6.24 miles (10,047 meters). It's also one of the coldest...
