Increased Mercury Levels In Arctic Ice Found Pushing Into Sea Water
2014-01-16 19:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Researchers Dr. Chris Moore and Dr. Daniel Obrist, from Nevada`s Desert Research Institute, have recently discovered an increased level of mercury in Arctic sea ice. The study, published in the journal Nature, also found that the element is contaminating sea water below. The researchers claim that the air above large cracks found in the ice of the Arctic is mixing vigorously pushing mercury down to the exposed seawater. This process causes an increase in toxic levels, which can in turn enter into...
Sea Ice Cracks Causing Mercury Buildup in Arctic Air
2014-01-15 21:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Arctic sea ice has been retreating at an alarming rate due to climate change. Its loss has decreased habitat for species such as the polar bear, created problems for Arctic communities, and may even be affecting weather patterns outside the region. New research published in Nature on Wednesday adds another impact to the list, suggesting that cracks in the ice are affecting complex chemical processes in the atmosphere and causing more mercury to find its way into the region's ecosystems. The research...
