Personalizing climate change: spy cameras document polar bear behaviors on and off sea ice

Mongabay: Polar bear populations are threatened by the loss of Arctic sea ice they use for hunting, and filmmakers and researchers are using remote cameras to better understand how the bears use ice and respond to the novel conditions resulting from global climate change. As Alysa McCall, field programs manager at Polar Bears International, explained in an email to WildTech, Remote camera systems provide the opportunity for nearly undisturbed observations of wildlife behavior.[F]or understanding an individual...
Antarctica is gaining ice: NASA
2015-11-02 01:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Jagran Post: According to the analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tonnes of ice a year from 1992 to 2001.The net gain slowed to 82 billion tonnes of ice per year between 2003 and 2008. "We are essentially in agreement with other studies that show an increase in ice discharge in the Antarctic peninsula and the Thwaites and Pine Island region of West Antarctica," explained Jay Zwally, glaciologist with NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre in Greenbelt, Maryland. ...

NASA says Antarctica is actually gaining ice. Does this mean climate fine?
2015-11-01 11:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: A new NASA study found that Antarctica has been adding more ice than it's been losing, challenging other research, including that of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, that concludes that Earths southern continent is losing land ice overall. In a paper published in the Journal of Glaciology on Friday, researchers from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, the University of Maryland in College Park, and the engineering firm Sigma Space Corporation offer a new analysis of satellite...
Antarctic Ice Sheet Is Reportedly Gaining More Mass Than Is Losing

Inquisitr: The Antarctic ice sheet is gaining more mass than it is losing, according to recent studies conducted by NASA. Researchers admit some glaciers are indeed thinning. However, snow accumulation continues to offset the loss by increasing the mass of the continent`s overall land ice. As explained by the National Snow & Ice Data Center, ice sheets, which are also referred to as glacial land ice, are solid masses of ice covering a mass of land. They are specifically defined by their size, which must...
NASA study: Net gains for Antarctic ice sheets
2015-10-31 15:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
United Press International: According to a new NASA study, ice sheet gains outweigh losses on the Antarctic continent. The findings conflict with those of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which in 2013 suggested gains were not keeping up with losses. The new study, published in the Journal of Glaciology, doesn't totally undermine the handful of studies showing significant glacier, ice sheet and sea ice shrinkage. Instead, if offers evidence of previously unaccounted gains. The new tallies reveal an annual...
