Submarine melting gives rise to sea levels by chewing away the Greenland Ice Sheet
2014-02-07 18:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Over the past two decades, ice loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet increased four-fold contributing to one-quarter of global sea level rise. However, the chain of events and physical processes that contributed to it has remained elusive. One likely trigger for the speed up and retreat of glaciers that contributed to this ice loss is ocean warming.
Melting Sea Ice Makes Arctic Drilling a Risky Business

Climate Central: Sea ice melting partly because of human-caused climate change could open previously inaccessible Arctic Ocean waters to expanded oil drilling, but the risks of drilling there will be extremely high. As sea ice melts in the Arctic, the oil and gas industry has expressed new interest in drilling offshore and is expected to invest roughly $100 billion there by 2023, according to a new paper from the Woodrow Wilson Center, a Washington-based think tank. The paper highlights an agreement between ExxonMobil...
More coastal habitat for geese in Alaska due to rising temperatures, melting sea ice
2014-02-03 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit County: Dwindling sea ice spells trouble for polar bears and walrus colonies, but some other animals are benefiting from global warming at least for now. Warming temperatures have resulted in more high quality habitat for geese along the Arctic coast of Alaska, according to a U.S. Geological Survey study. The research focused on black brant geese that migrate by the thousands each summer to the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska to undergo their wing molt, during which time the birds are flightless...
Nasa technology to reveal ice melting impact on climate
2014-01-30 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Indo-Asian News Service: A new laser-based technology from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) holds promise to tell how the melting of earth's frozen regions may affect our climate. This opens a new vista for researchers to better track the melting or growth of ice sheets, glaciers and sea ice. A high-altitude aircraft from Nasa flew over the icy Arctic ocean and the snow-covered terrain of Greenland recently. Aboard that aircraft flew the Multiple Altimeter Beam Experimental Lidar, or MABEL,...
