Antarctica Peninsula Climate Reconstruction
2013-04-19 13:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: The Antarctic Peninsula is the northernmost part of the mainland of Antarctica. It is the section closest to another continent (South America). A new 1000-year Antarctic Peninsula climate reconstruction shows that summer ice melting has intensified almost ten-fold, and mostly since the mid 20th Century. Summer ice melt affects the stability of Antarctic ice shelves and glaciers. The research, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, adds new knowledge to the international effort that is required...

Antarctic Peninsula melting season is getting longer
2013-04-04 10:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Planet Earth: The summer melting season in the Antarctic Peninsula has lengthened over the last 60 years, new research shows. This is contributing to sea-level rise, and may be linked to the rapid break-up of ice shelves in the area. The Antarctic Peninsula, a mountainous finger of land pointing northwards towards South America, is warming much faster than the rest of Antarctica. Temperatures have risen by almost 3°C since the 1950s -- three times faster than the global average. Scientists think this...
