Greenland may be losing ice even faster than we thought
2016-09-22 14:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: Rapidly melting Greenland may be shedding its ice even faster than anyone suspected, new research suggests. A study just out in the journal Science Advances finds that previous studies may have underestimated the current rate of mass loss on the Greenland ice sheet by about 20 billion tons per year. Generally, scientists estimate ice loss in Greenland (and elsewhere around the world) using data from satellites. But the new study suggests these satellite studies may have included some incorrect...
Global warming: Greenland ice melting 7 per cent faster than thought
2016-09-22 06:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Press Trust of India: Greenland lost nearly 2,700 gigatonnes of ice from 2003-2013, 7.6 per cent more than previously thought, a new study has found. According to researchers from Ohio State University in the US, the hotspot that feeds Icelands active volcanoes has softened the mantle rock beneath Greenland in a way that ultimately distorted their calculations for ice loss in the Greenland ice sheet. This caused them to underestimate the melting by about 20 billion metric tonnes or 20 gigatonnes per year. That means...
Sea ice in Arctic shrinks to second lowest level on record
2016-09-17 15:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Arctic sea ice this summer shrank to its second lowest level since scientists started to monitor it by satellite, with scientists saying it is another ominous signal of global warming. The National Snow and Ice Data Center in Colorado said the sea ice reached its summer low point on Saturday, extending 1.6 million square miles (4.14 million square kilometers). Thats behind only the mark set in 2012, 1.31 million square miles (3.39 million square kilometers). Center director Mark Serreze said...

Endangered glaciers: Alpine ice begins Antarctic voyage
2016-09-05 18:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: More than 400 pieces of Alpine ice have been moved to a giant freezer - a first step in their journey to Antarctica. The seemingly strange plan to send ice to the coldest place on Earth is part of a scientific mission to "rescue" some of the world's most endangered glacial ice. Bubbles in old, deep glacial ice are frozen records of our past atmosphere. Scientists say their purpose-built Antarctic ice bunker will keep these safe for future research. "What we know for sure is that the ice...
