Greenland's ice melt accelerating as surface darkens, raising sea levels
2016-03-03 19:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Greenlands vast ice sheet is in the grip of a dramatic feedback loop where the surface has been getting darker and less reflective of the sun, helping accelerate the melting of ice and fuelling sea level rises, new research has found. The snowy surface of Greenland started becoming significantly less reflective of solar radiation from around 1996, the analysis found, with the ice absorbing 2% more solar energy per decade from this point. At the same time, summer near-surface temperatures in...
Satellite data suggests forest loss is accelerating

Reuters: Satellite images suggest tropical forests from the Amazon to the Philippines are disappearing at a far more rapid pace than previously thought, a University of Maryland team of forest researchers say. The annual rate of deforestation from 1990 to 2010 was 62 percent higher than in the previous decade, and higher than previous estimates, according to a study carried out of satellite maps covering 80 percent of the worlds tropical forests. The new study questions the United Nations Food and...

Climate change is altering Greenland ice sheet, accelerating sea level rise
2016-01-04 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The Greenland ice sheet has traditionally been pictured as a bit of a sponge for glacier meltwater, but new research has found it is rapidly losing the ability to buffer its contribution to rising sea levels, says a York University researcher. York U Professor William Colgan, a co-author on the study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, helped analyse data from three expeditions to the Greenland ice sheet in 2012, 2013 and 2015. The research was done in conjunction with lead researcher...
Herman Miller: Earnings Report Shows Accelerating Trends And More Upside Ahead
