India TV: For the first in over 100,000 years, Arctic could be ice-less this year or next, claims a leading Cambridge scientist. According to Professor Peter Wadhams of Cambridge University in the UK, we could see an area of less than one million square kilometres for September of this year. Provisional satellite data produced by the US National Snow and Ice Data Centre shows there were just over 11.1 million square kilometres of sea ice on June 1 this year, compared to the average of nearly 12.7 million...

Shifting Bird Distribution Indicates Changing Arctic
2016-06-02 22:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Eurasia Review: A male Spectacled Eider wears a surgically implanted satellite transmitter after its release in northern Alaska. Shifts in the distribution of Spectacled Eiders, a predatory bird at the top of the Bering Sea`s benthic food web, indicate possible changes in the Arctic`s marine ecosystem, according to new research in The Condor: Ornithological Applications. Matt Sexson of the USGS Alaska Science Center and his colleagues compared recent satellite telemetry data from molting eiders with data from...

Shifting bird distribution indicates a changing Arctic

ScienceDaily: Shifts in the distribution of Spectacled Eiders, a predatory bird at the top of the Bering Sea's benthic food web, indicate possible changes in the Arctic's marine ecosystem, according to new research in The Condor: Ornithological Applications. Matt Sexson of the USGS Alaska Science Center and his colleagues compared recent satellite telemetry data from molting eiders with data from the mid-1990s. They found that in two of the species' four primary molting areas, the birds have shifted their range...

Why is Antarctica's sea ice growing while the Arctic melts?
2016-05-31 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inside Climate News: While Arctic ice is melting at a record pace, a team of NASA-led researchers say they can explain why Antarctic sea ice has been edging in the opposite direction. That paradox has puzzled scientists for years and given climate-change deniers fodder to dispute global warming. The group found that the icy winds blowing off Antarctica, as well as a powerful ocean current that circles the frozen continent, are much larger factors in the formation and persistence of Antarctic sea ice than changes in...
