Worlds Glaciers Melting at Record Rate
2015-08-05 16:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: The worlds glaciers are melting fastprobably faster than at any time in recorded history, according to new research. Measurements show several hundred glaciers are losing between half and one meter of thickness every yearat least twice the average loss for the 20th centuryand remote monitoring shows this rate of melting is far more widespread. The World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS), based at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, has compiled worldwide data on glacier changes for more...

Study Finds Glaciers Melting at Unprecidented Rates Around the Globe

Yale Environment 360: Glaciers around the globe are melting at unprecedented rates, according to an analysis of data spanning 120 years by researchers at the University of Zurich. The team compared glacier data collected between 2001 and 2010 with measurements, aerial and satellite photos, written accounts, and historical depictions from the previous century. On average, glaciers are currently losing between 0.5 and 1 meter of ice thickness each year, the researchers found -- two to three times more than glaciers were...
Worlds Glaciers Melting Faster Than Ever
2015-08-04 11:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment News Service: The current rate of glacier melt around the world is unprecedented in recorded history, new research by the World Glacier Monitoring Service demonstrates. Based at the University of Zurich, the World Glacier Monitoring Service compiles the results of worldwide glacier observations in annual calls-for-data from its national correspondents in more than 30 countries. The current database contains more than 5,000 measurements of glacier volume and mass changes since 1850 and more than 42,000 front...

Atlantis awaits: Melting ice and rising water for coastal cities
2015-07-28 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Baltimore Sun: Our civilization is built on coastlines. Oceans were the first grocery stores, providing easy protein for early humans who learned to fish and gather shellfish and seaweed. Oceans were the first highways, enabling early exploration, commerce and migration. Oceans remain vital sources of food and trade, even as societies have grown and advanced. That's why three-fourths of the world's major cities are located on coasts. But despite their many blessings, the Earth's oceans are becoming a curse....
