The Antarctic Ice Sheet may be hiding the world's largest canyon system
2016-01-14 17:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mother Nature Network: Geologists studying satellite imagery of the remote Princess Elizabeth Land in East Antarctica, one of the largest unsurveyed land surfaces on Earth, have discovered evidence of a massive subglacial canyon system buried beneath the ice. Tipped off by the physical hints, the team of researchers utilized radio-echo sounding to pull back the white curtain and peer through the ice. What they found is an absolute monstrosity of geology, a canyon system believed to be more than 685 miles long and as...

What's melting Greenland's ice sheet? Night clouds, say scientists
2016-01-14 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: Clouds play an important role in melting Greenlands ice sheet, say scientists. A team of scientists from the University of Leuven in Belgium have found that clouds are raising the temperature of the Greenland Ice Sheet by up to 3 degrees, contributing to almost 30 percent of the sheets melting, according a study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications. With climate change at the back of our minds, and the disastrous consequences of a global sea level rise, we need to understand...

Is the world's largest canyon hidden under an Antarctic ice sheet?
2016-01-14 11:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: Scientists say they may have discovered the worlds largest canyon, concealed under a vast Antarctic ice sheet. A team of researchers led by Britains Durham University made the discovery using satellite data, which has shown hints of the canyon. Smaller sections of the chasm were also identified using radio-echo sounding technology, which sent radio waves through the ice to map the canyons shape in a remote section of the British Antarctic territory, the university said. When combined, the...

Greenland ice sheet melts more when it's cloudy
2016-01-12 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Clouds play a bigger role in the melting of the Greenland ice sheet than was previously assumed. Compared to clear skies, clouds enhance the meltwater runoff by a third. Those are the findings of an international study that was coordinated by KU Leuven and published in Nature Communications. Greenland's ice sheet is the second largest ice mass in the world -- the largest is Antarctica. The ice sheet is losing mass at a high speed and increasingly contributes to the sea level rise on our planet....
