Remote Antarctic glacier is disappearing from below
2013-09-15 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: Scientists watching Antarctica's Pine Island Glacier from space have noticed with some alarm that it has been surging toward the sea. If it were to melt entirely, global sea levels would rise by several feet. The glacier is really, really remote. It's 1,800 miles from McMurdo, the U.S. base station in Antarctica, so just getting there is a challenge. Scientists have rarely been able to get out to the glacier to make direct measurements. "This was a granddaddy of a problem," says Tim Stanton, oceanography...

Underlying Ocean Water Melting Ice Shelf, Accelerating Glacier Movement
2013-09-13 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Rising ocean temperatures, not atmospheric temperatures, are melting the Antarctic floating ice shelf Pine Island Glacier and possibly other ice shelves, an international team of researchers found. The scientists examined the remote glacier, which represents a major outlet of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, in hopes shedding new light behind its rapid thinning in recent years. By placing a variety of instruments deep below the ice's surface and using radar to map the underside of the ice shelf...

Warm Water Under Antarctic Glacier Spurs Speedy Melting Rate
2013-09-13 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: A two-month-long expedition to one of the most remote sites on the planet the sprawling Pine Island Glacier in Antarctica has revealed that currents of warm water beneath the glacier are melting the ice at a staggering rate of about 2.4 inches (6 centimeters) per day. An international team of researchers journeyed to the southernmost continent to study the Pine Island Glacier, which is the longest and fastest-changing glacier on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. This region, in the far reaches of...
Channels of Meltwater Detected in Antarctic Glacier
2013-09-12 22:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: An ambitious new study of Antarctica's ice shelves using an array of instruments, including sensors lowered more than 1,000 feet below the ice, has revealed clues about the mechanisms that are causing the Pine Island Glacier Ice Shelf, which holds back a portion of the massive West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), to melt. The study, along with other ongoing research, could result in more accurate estimates of future sea level rise. The new study, published on Thursday in the journal Science, provides...
