Scientists say melting of Greenland glaciers worse than thought
2016-04-25 00:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Zee: A new research has warned that many large glaciers in Greenland are at greater risk of melting from below. According to new maps of the seafloor around Greenland created by an international research team, many large glaciers in Greenland are at greater risk of melting from below than previously thought. Researchers from the University of California, Irvine; NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California; and other research institutions combined all observations their various groups had...

Greenland is melting way ahead of schedule
2016-04-13 23:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: To say the 2016 Greenland melt season is off to the races is an understatement. Warm, wet conditions rapidly kicked off the melt season this weekend, more than a month-and-a-half ahead of schedule. It has easily set a record for earliest melt season onset, and marks the first time its begun in April. Little to no melt through winter is the norm as sub-zero temperatures keep Greenlands massive ice sheet, well, on ice. Warm weather usually kicks off the melt season in late May or early June, but...

Greenland and Antarctic melting isnt just raising seas its changing the Earths rotation
2016-04-09 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: Africa is front and center in this image of Earth taken in July 2015 by a NASA camera on the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite. Sophisticated new gravity research suggests that changes in Earths climate may actually be having a stunning geophysical effect: slightly moving the location of the planets spin axis, or axis of daily rotation. In other words, even as the Earth spins on its axis in a west to east direction, completing a full rotation every 24 hours, that axis itself...

The melting of Greenland and Antarctica is changing the Earth's rotation

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...

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...
