UK scientists to probe Pine Island Glacier
2013-09-10 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: UK scientists are about to set out for Antarctica to investigate the mighty Pine Island Glacier. The PIG drains about 10% of all the ice sliding off the west of the continent, and has seen a marked thinning and a surge in velocity in recent decades. Its contribution to sea level rise is now greater than any other glacier on the planet. The British Antarctic Survey-led team hopes its iStar project will provide new insights into the PIG's behaviour. The researchers will gather their measurements...

Park botanist Jennifer Beck says the beetle now kills more of the gnarled trees that grace the highest elevations of the park than an invasive fungus called white pine blister rust that also attacks them. "The older trees they are attacking are centuries old," said Beck. "They are often the...
Massive Iceberg Breaks off Pine Island Glacier in Antarctica
2013-07-10 21:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: An enormous slab of ice, about a quarter the size of Rhode Island and some 200 feet thick, has broken away from Antarctica, according to German researchers. The event, which was recorded by radar aboard Germany's orbiting TerraSAR-X satellite, was not unexpected. In 2011, a NASA satellite noted that a huge crack had appeared in the ice shelf at the outlet of the frozen continent's Pine Island Glacier. "At some point, it had to happen,' said Angelika Humbert, a glaciologist at the Alfred Wegener...
