Temperatures warming faster in Arctic, climate change making regions greener: NASA
2016-06-07 08:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Press Trust of India: According to a NASA study, Arctic regions of North America are getting greener, with almost a third of the land cover looking more like landscapes found in warmer ecosystems, owing to the climate change. With 87,000 images taken from Landsat satellites, converted into data that reflects the amount of healthy vegetation on the ground, the researchers found that western Alaska, Quebec and other regions became greener between 1984 and 2012. The new Landsat study further supports previous work that...

Indian Express: Global warming melting Arctic regions, climate change is happening everywhere: NASA Global warming melting Arctic regions, climate change is happening everywhere: NASA Temperatures are warming faster in the Arctic than elsewhere, which has led to longer seasons for plants to grow in and changes to the soils. A new NASA study has found out that due to the changing climate, Arctic regions of North America are getting greener, with almost a third of the land cover looking more like landscapes...

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Brown Brothers moved their vineyards to Tasmania to cope with the warming climate. Grape expectations: Six generations adding flavour to dinner tables Related Story: Tasmanian wine grapes tested for smoke taint in wake of bushfires Map: TAS They are one of the oldest families of wine in Australia, and after more than 120 years in Victoria, Brown Brothers' decision to expand outside of its traditional growing area because of rising temperatures is paying off.

Global warming is greening up the far north
2016-06-04 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit County Voice: After taking a close look at 87,000 satellite images, NASA scientists say the northern parts of Canada and Alaska are getting greener. Shrubs are sprouting in grassy tundra zones and shrubs are growing bigger and denser changes that could have impacts on regional water, energy and carbon cycles. The new NASA study adds more detail to previous research that reached similar conclusions and could help inform climate scientists about how the changes will affect global temperatures. The study covered...

Warming could boost carbon storage in Alaska forests
2016-06-03 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Climate change may dramatically increase carbon storage in Alaska's temperate forests, possibly offsetting the climate impacts of melting permafrost and wildfires, new research from the U.S. Geological Survey shows. But there's an asterisk: the study's authors said their projections could be skewed by a lack of data on methane emissions from lakes throughout northern Alaska, which could factor into how much carbon is ultimately stored by the forests. The Marie Creek Fire burns in Alaska in...
