Arctic Sea Ice Minimum in 2013 Is Sixth Lowest On Record
2013-09-21 09:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: After an unusually cold summer in the northernmost latitudes, Arctic sea ice appears to have reached its annual minimum summer extent for 2013 on Sept. 13, the NASA-supported National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado in Boulder has reported. Analysis of satellite data by NSIDC and NASA showed that the sea ice extent shrunk to 1.97 million square miles (5.10 million square kilometers). This year's sea ice extent is substantially higher than last year's record low minimum....
Arctic Ice Makes Comeback From Record Low, but Long-Term Decline May Continue
2013-09-21 02:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean underwent a sharp recovery this year from the record-low levels of 2012, with 50 percent more ice surviving the summer melt season, scientists said Friday. It is the largest one-year increase in Arctic ice since satellite tracking began in 1978. The experts added, however, that much of the ice remains thin and slushy, a far cry from the thick Arctic pack ice of the past. Because thin ice is subject to rapid future melting, the scientists said this years recovery was...
Arctic sea ice reaches seasonal low
2013-09-20 20:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Sea-ice extent in the Arctic appears to have arrived at its yearly minimum, scientists report. The US National Snow and Ice Data Center says this summer's marine floes were reduced in cover to 5.10 million sq km (1.97 million sq mi). This low was reached on 13 September. It represents almost 50% more ice than the spectacular satellite-era record-minimum achieved this time last year - when floes were reduced to just 3.41 million sq km (1.32 million sq mi). The NSIDC describes this summer's...

PBS: More than 300 miles north of the Arctic Circle, Alaska`s North Slope is ground zero for global climate change. NewsHour producer April Brown reports the melting ice has opened up opportunity for shipping and other development -- industry that could be catastrophic for the way of life of residents. GWEN IFILL: Now to a town that's been called Ground Zero for climate change. Even as residents of Barrow, Alaska, cope with changing weather patterns and melting sea ice, many are determined to keep...
