Arctic Ice Cap Flowing 25 Times Faster into Ocean
2015-01-24 02:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: A remote Arctic ice cap, in the face of warming temperatures and climate change, is now flowing 25 times faster into the ocean compared to 2012, a new study shows. According to satellite images, the southeast region of Austfonna, located in the Svalbard archipelago, is thinning at an incredible rate. In fact, in the last three years alone the region has thinned by more than 50 meters (164 feet) - about one sixth of its original thickness. Consequentially, melting is now occurring within 10...
Arctic ice cap slides into the ocean

[NEWS] Satellite images have revealed that a remote Arctic ice cap has thinned by more than 50 metres since 2012 - about one sixth of its original thickness - and that it is now flowing 25 times faster. A team led by scientists from the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling (CPOM) at the University of Leeds combined observations from eight satellite missions, including Sentinel-1A and CryoSat, with results from regional climate models, to unravel the story of ice decline. …
Surprise Lake Sheds Light on Underbelly Greenland Ice

Climate Central: On a clear day, anyone flying over Greenland on the route between North America and Europe can look down and see the bright blue patches of melted water atop the flat, blindingly white expanse of the ice sheet that covers the island, the second largest chunk of ice on Earth. Scientists have long known this meltwater flows in streams along the ice sheet's surface before disappearing down chutes that take it tumbling to the bottom of the ice sheet, where the ice scrapes against bedrock. It was...

New Lakes Discovered Under Greenland Ice Hint at Warming
2015-01-22 14:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Live Science: The discovery of two large lakes hidden beneath Greenland's ice suggests that climate change now cuts all the way to the bottom of the ice sheet, according to two new studies. The lakes, on opposite coasts, were only spotted because meltwater from Greenland's surface triggered gushing floods in the fall of 2011. Billions of gallons of water had flushed some 30 miles (50 kilometers) to the sea, leaving behind sunken craters in the surface of the ice above the lakes. Researchers found the fractured...
