East Antarctic glaciers could be much more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought.
2013-08-28 21:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: The warming, melting and potential contributions to sea level rise from glaciers in Greenland and West Antarctica in the face of climate change has long since been a serious concern. The behavior of the much larger East Antarctic ice sheet has been much more uncertain and until now has been thought to be relatively insensitive to climate change. Now an important paper in Nature from Durham University and the University of Zurich has examined a large number of satellite observations of the East...

Prolonged Heat Wave Leaves Russian Arctic Vulnerable to Wildfires
2013-08-02 18:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: An enduring high-pressure weather system over the Russian Arctic has led to a prolonged heat wave, creating conditions for another surge in wildfires a year after a particularly extreme wildfire season. NASA scientists say that a so-called blocking high system in which rain-bearing systems are blocked from moving west to east has caused temperatures to reach 90 degrees F (32 degrees C) in the northern city of Norlisk, where daily highs in July typically average 61 degrees F (16 degrees C)....

Once Resilient, Trees In The West Now More Vulnerable To Fires
2013-07-29 22:48:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: On any given day, there's a wildfire burning somewhere in the U.S. - and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Many western forests have evolved with fire, and actually benefit from the occasional wildfire. A nice little ground fire every few decades cleans house in the forest. It burns the grass and brush, and maybe some smaller trees - the "ladder fuels" that might carry a fire up into the tree canopy. Those canopy fires are the worst kind - they kill forests. But scientists are discovering...
