Humans Are to Blame for Earth's Rapidly Melting Glaciers
2014-08-14 20:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: The steady melt of glacial ice around the world is largely due to man-made factors, such as greenhouse-gas emissions and aerosols, a new study finds. Humans have caused roughly a quarter of the globe's glacial loss between 1851 and 2010, and about 69 percent of glacial melting between 1991 and 2010, the study suggests. "In a sense, we got a confirmation that by now, it is really mostly humans that are responsible for the melting glaciers," said lead researcher Ben Marzeion, an associate professor...

If the Internet Could Speak: 'I'm Melting! Melting!'
2014-08-14 19:29:13| TechNewsWorld
Millions of users were unable to access the Web Tuesday, according to reports. The websites of eBay, Amazon, Autotrader, LinkedIn, Time Warner and Verizon were among those hit. The problem is due to a combination of factors: router configuration; the explosive growth of connected devices; and IPv4 running out of addresses. "The industry faces many limitations," said tech analyst Rob Enderle.
Snow missing from New Zealand's ski slopes at a time when scientists say glaciers are melting
2014-08-05 00:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Winter has rolled into its third month in New Zealand, and Nick Jarman says he's going stir crazy as he stares out at the driving rain on the small ski area he manages in the Southern Alps. The Craigieburn Valley Ski Area is one of several areas that haven't opened for a single day this season, and some fear there may not be enough snow to open at all this year -- something Jarman says has never happened during his 30 years carving turns on the mountain's slopes. Ski operators throughout New...

A university turned to Ambrell for a “superalloy” research application<br /> <br /> Scottsville, NY - Ambrell, a leading manufacturer of induction heating systems, has sold an EKOHEAT 45 kW/100 kHz induction heating system to a large research university for “superalloy” research. The client had previously used Ambrell induction heating systems for research applications.<br /> <br /> The application involved melting up to 20 grams of tungsten to 3500 °C in a cold ...This story is related to the following:Induction Heating Systems
Melting permafrost and Global Warming
2014-07-19 19:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: The study, published this week in the journal Nature, focuses on thermokarst lakes, which occur as permafrost thaws and creates surface depressions that fill with melted fresh water, converting what was previously frozen land into lakes. The research suggests that arctic thermokarst lakes are "net climate coolers" when observed over longer, millennial, time scales. "Until now, we've only thought of thermokarst lakes as positive contributors to climate warming," said lead researcher Katey Walter...
