Greenland Ice Sheet is melting from the top and bottom

2013-08-13 19:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Environmental News Network: New study shows that heat flow from the mantle contributes to the ice melt. The Greenland ice sheet is melting from below, caused by a high heat flow from the mantle into the lithosphere. This influence is very variable spatially and has its origin in an exceptionally thin lithosphere. Consequently, there is an increased heat flow from the mantle and a complex interplay between this geothermal heating and the Greenland ice sheet. The international research initiative IceGeoHeat led by the GFZ...

Greenland Ice Melting Due to Heat from Below, Study Finds

2013-08-12 14:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Nature World: High heat flow from the mantle to the lithosphere is increasing the rate of ice melt in Greenland. Researchers said that although the rate isn't high, this process must be considered during calculations of ice-loss in the region. Scientists from IceGeoHeat found the association between geothermal heating and Greenland ice sheet melting at an exceptionally thin lithosphere in Greenland. They said that coupling ice/climate models with those that explain the flow of heat in the region is a better...

Climate change in 2012: record sea-level rise, Arctic melting, warmed oceans, report says

2013-08-06 23:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Associated Press: A new massive U.S. study says the world in 2012 sweltered with continued signs of climate change. Rising sea levels, snow melt, heat buildup in the oceans, and melting Arctic sea ice and Greenland ice sheets, all broke or nearly broke records, but temperatures only sneaked into the top 10. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Tuesday issued a peer-reviewed 260-page report, which agency chief Kathryn Sullivan calls its annual "checking on the pulse of the planet." The report,...

Young harp seals in the North Atlantic at risk from melting sea ice

2013-08-05 13:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Climate News Network: Shrinking sea ice is bad news for the baby harp seal, according to researchers from Duke University in the US. Pagophilus groenlandicus relies on stable winter sea ice to provide a safe platform to give birth and nurse the young until the pups can swim, hunt and fend off predators. But the Duke team report in PLoS One, the Public Library of Science journal, that in four harp seal breeding regions of the North Atlantic, the winter ice had declined by 6% a decade since 1979. The researchers based...
