Mass gains of Antarctic Ice Sheet greater than losses
2015-10-31 05:26:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers. The research challenges the conclusions of other studies, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) 2013 report, which says that Antarctica is overall losing land ice. According to the new analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion...
These Ice Cellars Fed Arctic People for Generations. Now They're Melting
2015-10-30 11:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: Building an underground ice cellar to store bowhead whale and other meat in Barrow, Alaska, is no small task. Even in the summertime, permafrost is hard as a rock a foot or so below the surface. Last year Herman Ahsoak employed a jackhammer and drill to construct a cellar for the whaling crew he has captained for more than a decade. But in the spring, melting snow penetrated the hatch, and the 14-foot deep cellar "filled all the way to the top with water," Ahsoak says. Maintaining ice cellars...

Land-facing, southwest Greenland Ice Sheet movement decreasing
2015-10-29 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: In the face of decades of increasing temperatures and surface melting, the movement of the southwest portion of the Greenland Ice Sheet that terminates on land has been slowing down, according to a new study being published by the journal Nature on Oct. 29. Researchers derived their results by tracking ice sheet movement through Landsat satellite images taken from 1985 to 2014 across a roughly 3,088-square-mile (8000-square-kilometer) region in southwest Greenland. They found that, between 2007...

Markham NHL arena was on thin ice from the beginning, newly released documents show
2015-10-29 02:39:39| Apparel - Topix.net
Markham's NHL arena dream was premised on a financial plan that was high risk, would not garner an “adequate return” and could have cost taxpayers tens of millions dollars more than the city publicly claimed, according to five of the 13 reports the city has been ordered to release, two years after the project was cancelled. The reports, released as a result of an appeal to the Information and Privacy Commission of Ontario, filed by Councillor Karen Rea before she took office in 2014, depicts the $325-million public-private arena plan as one that would have mired the municipality in debt for decades to come.
