Global warming melts edge of Greenland icesheet

2014-03-17 01:36:55| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Agence France-Presse: The last edge of the Greenland ice sheet that had resisted global warming has now become unstable, adding billions of tonnes of meltwater to rising seas, scientists say. In a study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, they say a surge in temperature from 2003 has eased the brakes on a long "river" of ice that flows to the coast in northeastern Greenland. Known as an ice stream, the "river" takes ice from a vast basin and slowly shifts it to the sea - in the same way the Amazon River...

Drum/Tote Oven melts materials chilled by cold weather.

2014-01-30 14:33:45| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today

Sahara Hot Room Model S32 heats and accelerates flow of thick or viscous materials in drums or totes chilled by cold weather. While able to heat 32 drums on pallets or 8 totes with saturated steam up to 200 psig, forklift-portable oven can also use hot oil or hot water as heating medium. Fully insulated unit features steel construction and built-in spill containment. Options include air circulation, exhaust capabilities, and digital temperature control with overtemp protection.

Around the world: Atlantic warming melts Antarctic ice

2014-01-22 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

LiveScience: Though physically about as distant from Antarctica as you can get, water masses in the North and Tropical Atlantic Ocean significantly influence the effects of climate change on the icy southernmost continent, new research suggests. Antarctic climate has changed considerably over the past several decades, with the Antarctic Peninsula -- located on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet -- experiencing more warming than any other region on Earth. Researchers have long recognized that atmospheric and oceanographic...

As More Arctic Ice Melts, Polar Bears Get Creative to Feed Themselves

2014-01-21 22:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Nature World: As warming temperatures change the landscape of the Arctic, polar bears there are showing remarkable resiliency in surviving by changing their diet to accommodate, according to recent research. Historically, polar bears' prey of choice are ringed seal pups. But as a warming climate causes Arctic sea ice to melt quicker each year, it limits hunting opportunities for polar bears, who venture out on the ice in search of prey. A group of researchers from the American Museum of Natural History observed...
