Arctic, Greenland Stuck in Feedback Loop of Melting
2016-06-10 15:48:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Nexus: Diminishing Arctic sea ice could make Greenlands melting even worse, a new study shows. Changing temperatures at the poles driven by global warming have the potential to impact the jet stream, causing it to bend further north than usual. Blocking events caused by the jet stream that exacerbate ice melt have become increasingly common over Greenland since the 1850s. Accelerating Greenlands melt could not only cause increased sea level rise but a slew of other climate impacts connected to changing...

Greenland sets melt records in 2015 consistent with 'Arctic Amplification'
2016-06-09 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Jet Stream reached northern latitudes never before recorded New study provides first evidence linking melting in Greenland to the anticipated effects of a phenomenon known as Arctic amplificationFollowing record-high temperatures and melting records that affected northwest Greenland in summer 2015, a new study has provided the first evidence linking melting in Greenland to the anticipated effects of a phenomenon known as Arctic amplificat…

Shockwaves unlock mysteries of Greenland ice sheet
2016-05-17 10:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Home: Seismic waves that race through Greenlands bedrock may help answer questions about the pattern of melting and freezing over the Northern Hemispheres biggest single sheet of ice. Scientists need answers because Greenland remains a puzzle: the glaciers may be accelerating their pace towards the sea - but, despite rising temperatures, the interior is not losing ice, according to a second study. A third study presents a new paradox: there may be little ice melt over most of the icecap, but changing...

Climate change and extreme weather linked to high pressure Greenland
2016-04-27 01:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Phys.Org: Greenland is one of the fastest-warming regions of the world, according to climate change experts at the University of Sheffield. New research, led by Professor Edward Hanna from the University's Department of Geography, has identified changes in weather systems over Greenland that have dragged unusually warm air up over the western flank of Greenland's Ice Sheet. These weather systems are also linked to extreme weather patterns over...

Researchers discover fate of melting glacial ice in Greenland
2016-04-25 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Athens, Ga. - Over the past several decades, scientists have observed a significant increase in the melting of glacial land ice on the island of Greenland, spurring concerns about global sea level rise and the long-term effects of atmospheric warming. What has been less clear, however, is what happens to this meltwater once it enters the ocean. Now, a team of researchers led by faculty at the University of Georgia has discovered the fate of much of the freshwater that pour…
