Underwater Drones Map Algae Beneath Antarctic Ice
2015-01-19 21:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Live Science: Although the surface of Antarctica is almost completely white, a field of green and brown algae clings to the underside of the sea ice around the frozen continent. Previously, this underwater forest of algae was accessible only to marine creatures or specially trained divers. But now, researchers are using pioneering drones to scout out and map the miles of algae mats. The Antarctic algae begin growing in early spring and rely on the small amount of sunlight that penetrates the ice to survive....

Climate change could be happening 2,400 feet under Antarctic ice
2015-01-19 13:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: In case you missed out on the bad news du jour, let me both enlighten and disturb you (the primary job description here at Grist): The world is now experiencing skyrocketing temperatures and ocean death spirals, all while humans are sucking the living daylights out of the planet. And now, scientists have uncovered data that suggests climate change could be affecting a place where humans have never even set foot: 2,400 feet below Antarctic ice. We`ve known for a while that the warming planet is...

Scientists Drill through 2,400 Feet of Antarctic Ice for Climate Clues
2015-01-16 15:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: Scientists have drilled into one of the most isolated depths in all of the world's oceans: a hidden shore of Antarctica that sits under 740 meters of ice, hundreds of kilometers in from the sea edge of a major Antarctic ice shelf. Humans have never glimpsed this place; reaching it required seven years of planning and 450 tonnes of fuel and gear. But understanding what is happening down there, so far from human view, will be crucial for predicting the future fate of Antarctica's ice sheets amid rising...

Melting Greenland ice sheet is biggest contributor to sea level rise
2015-01-16 14:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: As the largest single chunk of melting snow and ice in the world, the massive ice sheet that covers about 80 percent of Greenland is recognized as the biggest potential contributor to rising sea levels due to glacial meltwater. Until now, however, scientists attention has mostly focused on the ice sheets aquamarine lakes bodies of meltwater that tend to abruptly drain and on monster chunks of ice that slide into the ocean to become icebergs. But a new UCLA-led study reveals a vast network...
