Antarctic ice sheet is more vulnerable to carbon dioxide than expected
2016-02-23 01:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Results from a new climate reconstruction of how Antarctica's ice sheets responded during the last period when atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) reached levels like those expected to occur in about 30 years, plus sediment core findings reported in a companion paper, suggest that the ice sheets are more vulnerable to rising atmospheric CO2 than previously thought. Details appear in two papers in the current Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers led by Edward Gasson and...

New study is 'a leap forward' in our understanding of ice sheet behavior
2016-02-17 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: In recent years, climate scientists have grown increasingly concerned that massive rivers of ice flowing into the ocean from Greenland and Antarctica could accelerate as the planet warms, leading to a catastrophic collapse of Earth's ice sheets. This grim scenario would cause the world's oceans to rise rapidly, putting many island nations and coastal communities around the world under water. But a new paper in Nature by C.R. Stokes and colleagues presents an alternative narrative of the manner...

Ice sheet modeling of Greenland, Antarctica helps predict sea-level rise
2016-02-16 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets will make a dominant contribution to 21st century sea-level rise if current climate trends continue. However, predicting the expected loss of ice sheet mass is difficult due to the complexity of modeling ice sheet behavior. To better understand this loss, a team of Sandia National Laboratories researchers has been improving the reliability and efficiency of computational models that describe ice sheet behavior and dynamics. The team includes researchers Irina...
