Shift in Melting Pattern of the Greenland Ice Sheet Likely to Occur
2013-07-10 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Surface ice melt will become the new form of dominant ice melt in Greenland as outlet glaciers retreat inland, leaving ice production in second place, according to a new study. The Greenland ice sheet is often considered an important potential contributor to future global sea-level rise over the next century or longer: in total, levels would rise by more than 23 feet (seven meters) if it completely melted, scientists estimate. Changes in its total mass are governed by both fluctuations in melting...

The effect of climate change on iceberg production by Greenland glaciers
2013-05-13 02:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
SPX: While the impact of climate change on the surface of the Greenland ice sheet has been widely studied, a clear understanding of the key process of iceberg production has eluded researchers for many years. Published in Nature this week, a new study presents a sophisticated computer model that provides a fresh insight into the impact of climate change on the production of icebergs by Greenland glaciers, and reveals that the shape of the ground beneath the ice has a strong effect on its movement....

Finally, Some Not-Terrible Climate News: Greenland Not Melting Any Faster
2013-05-08 23:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Desk: Back in 2006, scientists in Greenland made an alarming observation: Glaciers were crumbling into the ocean twice as fast. And not in little cocktail-sized cubes, either: Glaciologist Jason Box accurately predicted the spot where a hunk four times the size of Manhattan would later shear off into the sea. At the same time, the inland top of the ice sheet was thawing at record levels; last summer, for the first time in 150 years, its entire surface was melting. By summer`s end, this water alone raised...

Greenland melt turns to music
2013-04-06 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Living on Earth: Greenland's 2012 summer ice melt was the largest on record. Ice specialist Marco Tedesco visits Greenland every year, and, tired of trying to convey the science of the melting ice with graphs and statistics, he found someone who could turn his data into music. Living on Earth's Emmett FitzGerald has the story. Transcript CURWOOD: Well, a team of scientists and artists at the City College of New York has come up with a way to listen to glaciers melting. It's all part of a multimedia exhibit...
