Cloud Blanket Warms Up Melting Icecap
2016-01-30 20:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Researchers have identified another piece in the climate machinery that is accelerating the melting of the Greenland ice cap. The icy hills are responding to the influence of a higher command system: the clouds. An international research team led by scientists from the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium report in Nature Communications journal that cloud cover above the northern hemispheres largest single volume of permanent ice is raising temperatures by between 2 degrees and 3 degrees...

Underworld threat to melting icecap
2014-06-17 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Researchers in the US have identified a new reason for the acceleration in the melting of Greenlands icecap - the ice underneath, as it melts and then refreezes, appears to speed up glacial flow. The melt-and-freeze-again cycle is not itself new, as a similar process has been diagnosed under the ice cap of Antarctica. Nor is the process itself necessarily connected with global warming. Such things must always have happened. But Robin Bell, a geophysicist at Columbia Universitys Lamont Doherty...

Greenlands Icecap Becoming Unstable
2014-04-14 14:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: LONDON-Greenland-the largest terrestrial mass of ice in the northern hemisphere-may be melting a little faster than anyone had guessed. A region of the Greenland ice sheet that had been thought to be stable is undergoing what glaciologists call dynamic thinning. That is because the meltwater from the ice sheet is getting into the sea, according to a study in Nature Climate Change. In short, Greenlands contribution to sea level rise has been under-estimated, and oceanographers may need to think...

Antarctic polar icecap is 33.6 million years old, researchers show
2013-05-29 01:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Seasonal primary productivity of plankton communities appeared with the first ice. This phenomenon, still active today, influences global food webs. These findings, reported in the journal Science, are based on fossil records in sediment cores at different depths. The Antarctic continental ice cap came into existence during the Oligocene epoch, some 33.6 million years ago, according to data from an international expedition led by the Andalusian Institute of Earth Sciences (IACT) -- a Spanish National...
