Temperatures warming faster in Arctic, climate change making regions greener: NASA
2016-06-07 08:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Press Trust of India: According to a NASA study, Arctic regions of North America are getting greener, with almost a third of the land cover looking more like landscapes found in warmer ecosystems, owing to the climate change. With 87,000 images taken from Landsat satellites, converted into data that reflects the amount of healthy vegetation on the ground, the researchers found that western Alaska, Quebec and other regions became greener between 1984 and 2012. The new Landsat study further supports previous work that...

Arctic tern makes longest ever migration equal to flying twice around the planet
2016-06-07 01:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: A tiny bird from the Farne Islands off Northumberland has clocked up the longest migration ever recorded. The Arctic terns meandering journey to Antarctica and back saw it clock up 59,650 miles, more than twice the circumference of the planet. The bird, which weighs just 100g, left its breeding grounds last July and flew down the west coast of Africa, rounded the Cape of Good Hope into the Indian Ocean and arrived in Antarctica in November. Its mammoth trek was recorded by a tiny device attached...

Indian Express: Global warming melting Arctic regions, climate change is happening everywhere: NASA Global warming melting Arctic regions, climate change is happening everywhere: NASA Temperatures are warming faster in the Arctic than elsewhere, which has led to longer seasons for plants to grow in and changes to the soils. A new NASA study has found out that due to the changing climate, Arctic regions of North America are getting greener, with almost a third of the land cover looking more like landscapes...

Arctic getting greener due to climate change: NASA
2016-06-06 03:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Indo-Asian News Service: Using 29 years of data from satellite imageries, NASA scientists have found extensive greening in the Arctic region, thanks to rising temperatures. The northern reaches of North America are getting greener, said the study that provides the most detailed look yet at plant life across Alaska and Canada. In a changing climate, almost a third of the land cover much of it Arctic tundra is looking more like landscapes found in warmer ecosystems, the researchers said. With 87,000 images taken from...
87,000 NASA Images Show a Greening Arctic

Climate News Network: The northern edge of North America is getting steadily greener. In the most detailed study so far of plant growth across Alaska and Canada, scientists say that about a third of the land cover now looks less like tundra, and more like a warmer ecosystem. The researchers report in the Journal of Remote Sensing that examination of 87,000 images captured by the NASA Landsat satellite reveals that Alaska, Quebec and other regions became greener between 1984 and 2012. Landsat, a project also backed...
