Deep, old water explains why Antarctic Ocean hasn't warmed
2016-05-30 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] The waters surrounding Antarctica may be one of the last places to experience human-driven climate change. New research from the University of Washington and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology finds that ocean currents explain why the seawater has stayed at roughly the same temperature while most of the rest of the planet has warmed. The study resolves a scientific conundrum, and an inconsistent pattern of warming often seized on by climate deniers. Observations and…

Antarctic Fossils Suggest That Mass Extinction Event in Polar Regions as Rapid as Elsewhere
2016-05-27 22:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: A new study, published in the journal Nature Communications revealed that animals living in the Polar Regions suffered from the sudden and deadly effect of the mass extinction event just like elsewhere in the world. Previously, scientists believe that animals in the Polar Regions are far enough away from the cause of the extinction to be badly affected. They also proposed that organisms living in the poles would have been more resilient to global climatic changes associated with an asteroid impact...

What's the difference between Arctic and Antarctic sea ice growth?
2016-05-24 14:06:38| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Monitor: Researchers supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) may have found an explanation for the differences in coverage between Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets. A new study by a NASA- and NOAA-backed team identifies the causes of the "stark contrast between Arctic and Antarctic sea ice change." The northern poles sea ice extent has been recorded at all-time lows in recent years and thinned by 65 percent between...
