Case Study: AFLs Optical Sensing Cables Measure Effects of Climate Change in the Antarctic
2014-10-15 17:36:00| Offshore Technology
AFL's optical sensing cables were recently deployed through the McMurdo Ice Shelf and into the Ross Sea in Antarctica, as part of a study to measure the effects of warming ocean water on glacial ice.
Australia's two-decade Antarctic plan

News.com.au: THAT'S the federal government's literal response to a two-decade plan for Australia's Antarctic involvement. Amid fears Australia was failing to meet its international obligations to carry out research on the frozen continent, Environment Minister Greg Hunt is now championing a "massive injection" into Antarctic research funding and capability. "That's about getting bodies on the ice, getting world-class researchers out of Hobart doing extra science on the ice," he told reporters in Hobart...

Antarctic sea ice expands to record levels: Should global warming be blamed? Yes and No
2014-10-09 22:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Tech Times: The melting of the world's ice is often blamed on global warming. The Antarctic sea ice, however, poses a conundrum because it has been expanding to record levels. On Sept. 20, the sea ice extent in the Antarctic has reached 7.78 million square miles breaking the record it has set in 2013 but while it may appear that this record discredits claims of global warming, scientists said that climate change still has something to do with the phenomenon. Researchers from the National Aeronautics and...
Why is Antarctic sea ice at record levels despite global warming?

Guardian: Antarctic ice floes extended further than ever recorded this southern winter, confounding the worlds most-trusted climate models. Its not expected, says Professor John Turner, a climate expert at the British Antarctic Survey. The worlds best 50 models were run and 95% of them have Antarctic sea ice decreasing over the past 30 years. The winter ice around the southern continent has been growing relatively constantly since records began in 1979. The US National Snow and Ice Data Centre...

NOAA: Record Antarctic Sea Ice Growth Linked To Its Staggering Loss Of Land Ice
2014-10-09 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: NOAA said in a news release Tuesday that "as counterintuitive as expanding winter Antarctic sea ice may appear on a warming planet, it may actually be a manifestation of recent warming." The most important thing to know about Antarctica and ice is that a large part of the South Pole`s great sheet of land ice is close to or at a point of no return for irreversible collapse. The rate of loss of that ice has reached record levels, tripling in the last five years alone. Only immediate action to sharply...
