Scientists Reveal a Bit of Good News About Greenlands Great Melt
2015-10-31 14:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Climate change is speeding up the melting of the great sheet of ice covering Greenland, a frozen mass the size of Alaska that holds an estimated 10 percent of the worlds ice--and scientists are sure of it. If the entire ice sheet melted, it would raise the level of the sea by more than 20 feet worldwide. But within that certainty, there are still many open and important questions. How much faster is the ice sheet melting? Is that melt affecting the ice sheet in other ways? What does it mean...
Greenland's ice sheet 'plumbing' system revealed
2015-10-09 23:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Asian News International: A team of researchers have shed light on the impact of climate change on plumbing system that governs the water flow in subglacial lake under the Greenland ice sheet. A team of experts, led by Dr Steven Palmer from the University of Exeter, has studied the water flow paths from one such subglacial lake, which drained beneath the ice sheet in 2011. The study shows, for the first time, how water drained from the lake - via a subglacial tunnel. Significantly, the authors present satellite observations...

Watch NASA Explain Why We Should All Be Worried About Greenlands Melting Ice Sheet
2015-09-09 16:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: NASA scientists are worried about Greenland. Its ice sheet is three times the size of Texas and a mile deep on average. The only place with more of the worlds ice is Antarctica. But Greenland is warming twice as fast as Antarctica, NASA says. This rapid melting is raising global sea levels at an alarming rateeven faster than expected. Thats why NASA scientists are monitoring Greenlands ice sheet from high up in space to the ocean floor below to provide data for scientists studying the global...
How Insero Software Provides an Overview of the Weather Conditions on Greenland's Military Bases
2015-08-12 12:17:00| Airport Technology
The changeable weather conditions on Greenland make it difficult to transport material and personnel to and from the island. Previously, the weather conditions were manually observed through a few unreliable sensors.
