Ocean species relocate in response to climate change, study finds

2013-09-13 21:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

LA Times: As climate change heats our oceans, you'd expect temperature-sensitive marine species to flee poleward to cooler waters. So why have some headed to warmer regions toward the equator? Scientists have solved the puzzle. For the most part, these animals are relocating to cooler waters. But since the effects of climate change can vary widely across regions, sometimes those cooler regions are closer to the poles and sometimes they're closer to the equator. In other words, marine animals are still...

Underlying Ocean Water Melting Ice Shelf, Accelerating Glacier Movement

2013-09-13 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Nature World News: Rising ocean temperatures, not atmospheric temperatures, are melting the Antarctic floating ice shelf Pine Island Glacier and possibly other ice shelves, an international team of researchers found. The scientists examined the remote glacier, which represents a major outlet of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, in hopes shedding new light behind its rapid thinning in recent years. By placing a variety of instruments deep below the ice's surface and using radar to map the underside of the ice shelf...

Warmer Ocean Water Is Key Factor in Melting Ice Shelves, Study Says

2013-09-13 19:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Yale Environment 360: Recent research into one of West Antarctica's most rapidly melting glaciers and ice shelves has shown that rising ocean temperatures and a series of channels lacing the underside of the shelf are the key factors in the rapid thinning of the shelf and the swift advance of the glacier behind it. Reporting in NASA Edge of Pine Island ice sheet Science, U.S. scientists said that instruments deployed on and under the Pine Island Glacier and ice shelf over the past two years have shown that warmer ocean...

Unexpected interaction between ocean currents and bacteria may weaken ocean's ability to absorb carbon

2013-09-13 16:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ScienceDaily: For the first time, researchers have successfully demonstrated an interaction between ocean currents and bacteria: The unexpected interaction leads to the production of vast amounts of nitrogen gas in the Pacific Ocean. This takes place in one of the largest oxygen free water masses in the world -- and these zones are expanding. This can ultimately weaken the ocean's ability to absorb CO2. Three places in the world harbor extensive oxygen free water masses, called Oxygen Minimum Zones. In these...
