Antarctic Peninsula experiences dramatic ice melt

Blue and Green: An equivalent of the UKs annual domestic water supply is being lost in ice melting in the Antarctic Peninsula according to new satellite research led by the University of Bristol. The Antarctic Peninsula is experiencing dramatic losses in ice mass according to new research published on Friday. Studies of satellite data led by researchers at Bristol revealed that around 60 cubic kilometres of ice is melting every year, equating to the annual domestic water supply to the UK. Published in the...

Antarctic in 'dramatic' ice loss
2015-05-22 00:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Satellites have seen a sudden dramatic change in the behaviour of glaciers on the Antarctica Peninsula, according to a Bristol University-led study. The ice streams were broadly stable up until 2009, since when they have been losing on the order of 56 billion tonnes of ice a year to the ocean. Warm waters from the deep sea may be driving the changes, the UK-based team says. The details of the satellite research are published in Science Magazine. They include more than 10 years of space...

Sudden and Rapid Ice Loss Discovered in Antarctica
2015-05-21 20:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: The pace of climate change in Antarctica can now be measured in dog years. Several massive glaciers in the southern Antarctic Peninsula suddenly started to crumble in 2009, a new study reports today (May 21) in the journal Science. "Out of the blue, it's become the second most important contributor to sea level rise in Antarctica," said lead study author Bert Wouters, a remote sensing expert and Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom. The discovery means Antarctica's...

Sudden onset of ice loss in Antarctica detected
2015-05-21 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] A group of scientists, led by a team from the University of Bristol, UK has observed a sudden increase of ice loss in a previously stable region of Antarctica. The research is published today in Science. Using measurements of the elevation of the Antarctic ice sheet made by a suite of satellites, the researchers found that the Southern Antarctic Peninsula showed no signs of change up to 2009. Around 2009, multiple glaciers along a vast coastal expanse, measuring some …
