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...

Hong Kong hit by coldest temperatures in nearly 60 years
2016-01-24 08:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: A cold snap gripped Hong Kong on Sunday, with residents shivering as temperatures plunged to the lowest point in nearly 60 years and frost dusted the mountaintops of a city accustomed to a subtropical climate. Weather officials issued a frost warning saying an "intense cold surge" was in place, coupled with chilling monsoon winds. Morning temperatures dropped to 3.3 Celsius (38 Fahrenheit) in urban areas of the southern Chinese city, where most buildings lack central heating, and below freezing...
Soil water, microbes influence carbon in world's coldest desert, study finds
2015-06-30 03:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Soil water and microbes' respiration contribute to fluctuations of carbon dioxide in the world's coldest desert, where climate change is expected to increase underground moisture and microorganisms, an Arizona State University and Dartmouth College study finds. The findings appear in the journal Antarctica Science. In the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, climate warming is creating wetter conditions that are changing the soil in this climate-sensitive ecosystem. Previous studies have shown that...
