Arctic Sea Ice Is Getting Thinner, Faster
2015-03-05 00:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: While the steady disappearance of sea ice in the Arctic has been one of the hallmark effects of global warming, research shows it is not only covering less of the planet, but it's also getting significantly thinner. That makes it more susceptible to melting, potentially altering local ecosystems, shipping routes and ocean and atmospheric patterns. New data compiled from a range of sources -- from Navy submarines to satellites -- suggests that thinning is happening much faster than models have...
Combined Arctic ice observations show decades of loss
2015-03-03 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] It's no surprise that Arctic sea ice is thinning. What is new is just how long, how steadily, and how much it has declined. University of Washington researchers compiled modern and historic measurements to get a full picture of how Arctic sea ice thickness has changed. The results, published this month in The Cryosphere, show a thinning in the central Arctic Ocean of 65 percent between 1975 and 2012. September ice thickness, when the ice cover is at a minim…
Sucden, ED&F Man expected to scoop up 1 mln T of sugar ICE delivery

NZARI to support new research into Antartic ice cover
2015-03-02 03:49:57| Airlines - Topix.net
The New Zealand Antarctic Research Institute will provide $500,000 in funding to six new research projects to investigate how Antarctica's ice cover will change as the world warms. The new projects, funded by support NZARI received from the Aotearoa Foundation and Air New Zealand explore how ice floating at the edge of Antarctica interacts with the surrounding Southern Ocean.

Genetics reveals where emperor penguins survived the last ice age
2015-03-01 07:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A study of how climate change has affected emperor penguins over the last 30,000 years found that only three populations may have survived during the last ice age, and that the Ross Sea in Antarctica was likely the refuge for one of these populations. The Ross Sea is likely to have been a shelter for emperor penguins for thousands of years during the last ice age, when much of the rest of Antarctica was uninhabitable due to the amount of ice. The findings, published today in the journal Global...
