Antarctic ice shelf being eaten away by sea
2014-12-05 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science: This year, scientists reported alarming news about the huge continental ice sheet covering the western portion of Antarctica: It's headed for collapse, due to rapid melting of some of its buttressing ice shelves. When it does, global sea levels will rise by several meters. It has long been suspected that warm ocean waters at the base of those floating ice shelves are responsible for hurrying things along. But with scant data from the waters around Antarctica, that has been difficult to prove. Now,...
Warmer seas could cause faster melting of Antarctic ice leading to rising sea levels, says study
2014-12-05 11:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Warming water under Antarcticas ice shelves risks ice melting that could lead to a worrying rise in global sea levels, research has shown. Loss of the Antarctic ice shelves, which extend from the southern polar land mass over the underwater continental shelf, are likely to result in the glaciers behind them flowing more rapidly into the sea. That would feed more melting ice into the oceans, pushing up sea levels. Total melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet, which is close to the regions...
As Sea Ice Disappears, Arctic Ringed Seals Could Get Largest Critical Habitat Ever
2014-12-04 00:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: Arctic ringed seals (Phoca hispida hispida) could soon get a critical habitat more than twice the size of California within the Bering, Chukchi and Beaufort seas. Under rules (pdf) proposed this week by the National Marine Fisheries Service, the seals could have more than 900,000 square kilometers of protected waters. The seals were declared threatened with extinction under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) two years ago, mainly because of the decline in sea ice on which they shelter when molting...
