Ocean warming primary cause of Antarctic Peninsula glacier retreat
2016-07-14 23:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A new study has found for the first time that ocean warming is the primary cause of retreat of glaciers on the western Antarctic Peninsula. The Peninsula is one of the largest current contributors to sea-level rise and this new finding will enable researchers to make better predictions of ice loss from this region. The research, by scientists at Swansea University and British Antarctic Survey, is published in the journal Science today (Friday, July 15). The study reports that glaciers flowing...

Antarctic sea ice: new study explains mystery behind increase of sea ice in Antarctic
2016-07-06 15:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Cubic Lane: Antarctic sea ice study - The increase in sea ice in Antarctica, apparently in contradiction with some mainstream climate models, is largely explained by natural climate fluctuations. This is the result of a new study led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), a scientific institution in the United States. The study, funded by the Department of Energy of the United States and by the National Science Foundation, provides evidence that the negative phase of the Interdecadal Pacific...
Expanding Antarctic Sea Ice Caused by Natural Climate and Not Climate Change

Learning And Finance: Antarctic sea ice study - The increase in sea ice in Antarctica, apparently in contradiction with some mainstream climate models, is largely explained by natural climate fluctuations. The cycle named Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation or IPO, had been shifting into a negative phase over the last century meaning ocean surface temperatures have cooled down. Son Nghiem of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California and team from NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)...

Expanding Antarctic sea ice linked to natural variability
2016-07-04 10:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Phys.Org: The recent trend of increasing Antarctic sea ice extent-seemingly at odds with climate model projections-can largely be explained by a natural climate fluctuation, according to a new study led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The study offers evidence that the negative phase of the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO), which is characterized by cooler-than-average sea surface temperatures in the tropical eastern...
Climate scientists: Australian uranium mining pollutes Antarctic
2016-06-30 07:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Phys.Org: Climate scientists: Australian uranium mining pollutes Antarctic Uranium mining in Australia is polluting the Antarctic, about 6,000 nautical miles away. University of Maine climate scientists made the discovery during the first high-resolution continuous examination of a northern Antarctic Peninsula ice core. Ice core data reveal a significant increase in uranium concentration that coincides with open pit mining in the Southern Hemisphere, most notably Australia, says lead researcher Mariusz...
