Atmospheric Rivers Add to Antarctica's Ice Sheets
2015-01-26 16:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Extreme weather phenomena called atmospheric rivers were behind intense snowstorms recorded in 2009 and 2011 in East Antarctica. The resulting snow accumulation partly offset recent ice loss from the Antarctic ice sheet, report researchers from KU Leuven. Atmospheric rivers are long, narrow water vapour plumes stretching thousands of kilometres across the sky over vast ocean areas. They are capable of rapidly transporting large amounts of moisture around the globe and can cause devastating precipitation...
Yellowstone River oil spill clean-up hindered by ice at site of pipeline break

Guardian: One week after a pipeline spilled nearly 40,000 gallons of crude oil into the Yellowstone River and contaminated a Montana citys water supply, clean-up crews have made little progress in their efforts to remove the oil from the partially frozen river. The site of the pipeline break, six miles upstream from the high-plains city of Glendive, Montana, is almost entirely capped in ice, complicating efforts to retrieve the oil and slowing the response process. The cause of the spill remains under...
An Arctic ice caps shockingly rapid slide into sea
2015-01-24 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: For years, scientists have documented the rapid retreat of Arctic ice, from melting glaciers in Greenland to shrinking snow cover in far northern Eurasia. Now researchers have discovered one Arctic ice cap that appears to be literally sliding into the sea. Ice is disappearing at a truly astonishing rate in Austfonna, an expanse of frozen rock far north of the Arctic Circle in Norways Svalbard island chain. Just since 2012, a portion of the ice cap covering the island has thinned by a whopping...
