Antarctic coastline images reveal four decades of ice loss to ocean
2016-06-05 00:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: A study of images along 2000km of West Antarctica's coastline has shown the loss of about 1000km2 of ice - an area equivalent to the city of Berlin - over the past 40 years. Researchers were surprised to find that the region has been losing ice for such a length of time. Their findings will help improve estimates of global sea level rise caused by ice melt. A research team from the University of Edinburgh analysed hundreds of satellite photographs of the ice margin captured by NASA, the United...
Long overlooked area of Antarctica sees major ice loss
2016-06-03 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Over the past few years, the evidence has piled up that glaciers in parts of Antarctica have been melting and retreating at an increasingly worrying -- and potentially unstoppable -- pace. Now, new research shows that glaciers in a region of West Antarctica that has received relatively little attention to date have lost a considerable amount of ice. And that ice melt and retreat has been going on for decades, longer than previously thought. The Bellingshausen Coast in West Antarctica. The findings,...

Plutos smooth surface is probably a sea of slow-flowing nitrogen ice

Pluto's Sputnik Planum region can remake itself to erase impact craters thanks to nitrogen ice and radioactive elements.
Why is Antarctica's sea ice growing while the Arctic melts?
2016-05-31 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inside Climate News: While Arctic ice is melting at a record pace, a team of NASA-led researchers say they can explain why Antarctic sea ice has been edging in the opposite direction. That paradox has puzzled scientists for years and given climate-change deniers fodder to dispute global warming. The group found that the icy winds blowing off Antarctica, as well as a powerful ocean current that circles the frozen continent, are much larger factors in the formation and persistence of Antarctic sea ice than changes in...
