Guardian: Melting ice could open the Arctic to new drilling and the opportunity to "chase pirates, terrorists and ecologists", according to the organisers of this year's UN climate talks in Poland, in comments that have been branded outrageous by campaigners. The blogpost, published this week on the Polish site for November's Warsaw meeting, said that not only would melting ice allow ships to cut their journey times by taking the north-west passage, but "we may also build new drilling platforms and retrieve...

Eiffel Tower-Sized Channels Discovered Beneath Antarctic Ice Shelf
2013-10-07 13:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: The discovery of hundreds of kilometers worth of channels beneath a floating ice shelf in Antarctica could help experts understand how the ice will respond to changes in environmental conditions, according to a study published Sunday in the journal Nature Geoscience. Researchers from the University of Exeter, Newcastle University, the University of Bristol, the University of Edinburgh, the British Antarctic Survey and the University of York located the channels using satellite images and airborne...

Vast streams found beneath Antarctic ice sheet

Telegraph: The streams of water, some of which are 250m in height and stretch for hundreds of kilometres, could be destabilising parts of the Antarctic ice shelf immediately around them and speeding up melting, researchers said. However, they added that it remains unclear how the localised effects of the channels will impact on the future of the floating ice sheet as a whole. The British researchers used satellite images and radar data to measure variations in the height of the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf...
