Clouds Helped Enhance Greenlands Record Melting

2013-04-03 21:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Climate Central: When scientists saw melting across a whopping 97 percent of Greenland's icy surface last summer, they were quick to note that such an event is rare, but not unprecedented. The last time it happened was in 1889, so while manmade global warming is clearly involved it isn't necessarily the entire story. A new new report in Nature on Wednesday has now helped flesh out the explanation: data from Summit Station, at the frozen island's highest point, 10,551 feet above sea level, show that unusually warm...

ScienceDaily: If the sheet of ice covering Greenland were to melt in its entirety tomorrow, global sea levels would rise by 24 feet. Three million cubic kilometers of ice won't wash into the ocean overnight, but researchers have been tracking increasing melt rates since at least 1979. Last summer, however, the melt was so large that similar events show up in ice core records only once every 150 years or so over the last four millennia. "In July 2012, a historically rare period of extended surface melting...

Studying clouds to find global answers

2013-03-26 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Press-Enterprise: Some of the same chemicals that scientists believe are influencing climate change may be having an equally important effect on peoples health, as they inhale those chemicals into their bodies. UC Riverside professor Akua Asa-Awuku is studying both. Using the worlds largest atmospheric chamber at UCRs College of Engineering/Center for Environmental Research and Technology, Asa-Awuku is trying to determine how airborne particles from emissions influence the formation of clouds. Clouds affect...
