Understanding ice loss in Earths coldest regions
2016-07-04 02:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: How do ice sheets melt in places where surface conditions are too cold for melting? Glaciers in the McMurdo Dry Valley rarely are observed to be actively melting, yet runoff from these glaciers feeds streams, lakes, and associated ecosystems in the valleys, which are among the coldest and driest ecosystems on Earth. The processes generating melt under these marginal conditions are not well understood, and traditional melt modeling techniques are inadequate to explain the observed runoff. Using ice...

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...
