Antarctic ice shelves could disappear
2014-01-30 10:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Zealand Herald: A number of floating ice shelves in Antarctica are at risk of disappearing entirely in the next 200 years, as global warming reduces their snow cover, a new study has found. Their collapse would enhance the discharge of ice into the oceans and increase the rate at which sea-level rises. Scientists have been observing ice-shelf retreat around the Antarctic Peninsula since the early 1990s, but a new model provides for the first time a strong basis for the prediction of future changes - a major...

Less Snow Threatens Antarctica's Fragile Ice Shelves
2014-01-30 02:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Antarctica's summer meltwater ponds are beautiful killers. Given an escape route down to the ice, the sapphire-blue water jacks open fractures and crevasses in ice shelves, breaking them apart. Most ice shelves -- floating, frozen plateaus permanently attached to the shore -- have a thick blanket of snow that protects them from meltwater. The snow soaks up water like a sponge. But climate change may soon transform these downy snow blankets into threadbare sheets, putting more ice shelves in the...
