Study raises concerns over big, rapidly thinning Antarctic glacier
2015-03-18 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CNN: Scientists have raised concerns about a large, rapidly thinning glacier in Antarctica, warning it could contribute significantly to rising sea levels. They say they've discovered two openings that could channel warm seawater to the base of the huge Totten Glacier and bring the threat of potentially disastrous melting. The glacier is bigger and thinning faster than all the others in East Antarctica. It contains enough ice to raise the global sea level by at least 11 feet (3.4 meters), according...

Rapid Thinning of Antarctica's Pine Island Glacier May be Irreversible
2014-01-15 16:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: The rapid thinning of Pine Island Glacier, located on the West Antarctic ice sheet, may be irreversible, an international team of scientists warn. Spanning more than 160,000 square kilometers, the PIG, as the ice mass is known, is the largest single contributor to sea-level rise in Antarctica, contributing 25 percent of the total ice loss from West Antarctica, according to the new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change. The report states that melting has become so excessive, the...

Thinning out on Antarctica
2014-01-06 22:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Pine Island Glacier, located in West Antarctica, is showing signs of thinning making it more susceptible to climatic and ocean variability than at first thought. Scientists led by the British Antarctic Survey have discovered large fluctuations in the ocean heat manifesting itself in the melting of the ice shelf into which the glacier flows. Between 2010 and 2012 the ice shelf into which the ice stream flows has decreased by 50%, most likely due to La Nin, suggesting a complex interplay between geological,...
