Warming ocean water undercuts Antarctic ice shelves

EurekAlert: "Upside-down rivers" of warm ocean water threaten the stability of floating ice shelves in Antarctica, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder's National Snow and Ice Data Center published today in Nature Geoscience. The study highlights how parts of Antarctica's ice sheet may be weakening due to contact with warm ocean water. "We found that warm ocean water is carving these 'upside-down rivers,' or basal channels, into the undersides of ice shelves all...
India: Siddarth Goenka helps villages fight global warming with biogas plants

Economic Times: Villages on the city's periphery fall short of even basic facilities to cook a meal. Bengaluru-based restaurateur Siddarth Goenka, an alum of Bishop Cotton Boys' School, hopes to correct just that. The 30-year-old who studied in Birmingham and worked with JM Morgan Stanley believes non-renewable energy such as LPG is neither viable nor sustainable. Having seen the hinterlands while extending his family's dairy business in Rajasthan in 2010, Goenka started the Pragathishali Rural Development Charitable...

Even Plant-Supporting Soil Fungi Affected by Global Warming, UCI Study Finds
2016-03-08 12:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Newswise: On a cool, fog-shrouded mountain of Costa Rica, University of California, Irvine biologist Caitlin Looby is finding that warming temperatures are becoming an increasing problem for one of the most ecologically diverse places on Earth. Seeking to determine how shifts in the tropical mountain cloud forest ecosystem would affect resident fungal species in Monteverde, Looby and fellow ecology & evolutionary biology graduate student Mia Maltz and their adviser, Kathleen Treseder, found that as the moist...

Revamped satellite data shows no pause in global warming
2016-03-06 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Climate change doubters may have lost one of their key talking points: a particular satellite temperature dataset that had seemed to show no warming for the past 18 years. The Remote Sensing System temperature data, promoted by many who reject mainstream climate science and especially most recently by Sen. Ted Cruz, now shows a slight warming of about 0.18 degrees Fahrenheit since 1998. Ground temperature measurements, which many scientists call more accurate, all show warming in the past 18 years....

Global warming reducing phytoplanktons in western Indian Ocean
2016-03-06 10:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nerve: " We find that these trends in chlorophyll are driven by enhanced ocean stratification due to rapid warming in the Indian Ocean, which suppresses nutrient mixing from subsurface layers. Future climate projections suggest that the Indian Ocean will continue to warm, driving this productive region into an ecological desert, the study says." Panaji, March 6 - Rapidly decreasing presence of marine phytoplankton, a micro-algae consumed by small fish and responsible for reducing carbon dioxide in sea water,...
