Polar bears hunt on land as ice shrinks
2014-01-24 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Polar bears have shifted to a diet of more land-based food in response to climate change and melting sea ice in the Arctic, new research finds. The results suggest that polar bears, at least in the western Hudson Bay area, may be slightly more flexible in the face of climate change than previously thought. "We found they were eating more of what is available on the land," including snow geese, eggs and caribou, said study co-author Linda Gormezano, a vertebrate biologist at the American Museum...

LiveScience: Though physically about as distant from Antarctica as you can get, water masses in the North and Tropical Atlantic Ocean significantly influence the effects of climate change on the icy southernmost continent, new research suggests. Antarctic climate has changed considerably over the past several decades, with the Antarctic Peninsula -- located on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet -- experiencing more warming than any other region on Earth. Researchers have long recognized that atmospheric and oceanographic...
