Melting ice sheets changing the way the Earth wobbles on its axis, says Nasa
2016-04-09 02:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Global warming is changing the way the Earth wobbles on its polar axis, a new Nasa study has found. Melting ice sheets, especially in Greenland, are changing the distribution of weight on Earth. And that has caused both the North Pole and the wobble, which is called polar motion, to change course, according to a study published on Friday in the journal Science Advances. Scientists and navigators have been accurately measuring the true pole and polar motion since 1899, and for almost the entire...
The melting of Greenland and Antarctica is changing the Earth's rotation
2016-04-09 01:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Wahingtonpost: The melting of Greenland and Antarctica is changing the Earth's rotation Even as the Earth spins on its axis in a west to east direction, that axis itself is also moving This means that the physical North and South poles are actually shifting every 24 hours Researchers observed this using NASA's GRACE satellites, which measure gravitational change An iceberg floats in the sea near Qeqertarsuaq, Disko Island, Greenland, on July 21, 2011. Global warming is shifting the way the Earth wobbles...

Melting of Arctic Sea Ice Already Setting Records in 2016
2016-04-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: The decline of Arctic sea ice is already setting records in 2016, with the winter peak in March clocking in as the lowest since satellite records began, scientists say. A new and fuller summary of this years Arctic winter by the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC) confirms the preliminary announcement last week that sea ice reached its annual maximum extent on March 24 this year. Covering an area of 14.52m square kilometers, this years peak winter extent is a shade smaller than...

Shrinking Arctic ice is impacting Greenland melting
2016-04-02 01:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Vanishing Arctic sea ice. Dogged weather systems over Greenland. Far-flung surface ice melting on the massive island. 'Blocking-high' pressure systems spawn most of the warming that melts Greenland surface ice Rutgers study says. These dramatic trends and global sea-level rise are linked, according to a study coauthored by Jennifer Francis, a research professor in Rutgers University's Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences. During Greenland summers, melting Arctic sea ice favors stronger...
