Melting Greenland ice sheet may affect global ocean circulation, future climate
2016-01-23 00:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Scientists from the University of South Florida, along with colleagues in Canada and the Netherlands, have determined that the influx of fresh water from the Greenland ice sheet is "freshening" the North Atlantic Ocean and could disrupt the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), an important component of global ocean circulation that could have a global effect. Researchers say it could impact the future climate in places such as portions of Europe and North America. Their study on the...

Cloud cover found significant factor in Greenland Ice Sheet melt
2016-01-17 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: The Greenland Ice Sheet is the second largest ice sheet in the world and it's melting rapidly, likely driving almost a third of global sea level rise. A new study shows clouds are playing a larger role in that process than scientists previously believed. "Over the next 80 years, we could be dealing with another foot of sea level rise around the world," says Tristan L'Ecuyer, professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and co-author of the...

Greenland ice sheet melts more when it's cloudy
2016-01-12 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Clouds play a bigger role in the melting of the Greenland ice sheet than was previously assumed. Compared to clear skies, clouds enhance the meltwater runoff by a third. Those are the findings of an international study that was coordinated by KU Leuven and published in Nature Communications. Greenland's ice sheet is the second largest ice mass in the world -- the largest is Antarctica. The ice sheet is losing mass at a high speed and increasingly contributes to the sea level rise on our planet....

Greenland might be contributing more to sea level rise than we thought
2016-01-05 22:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: The Greenland ice sheet is starting to look a lot like the ice luge that ruined your New Year`s Eve. Except, instead of drunk faces at the end of it, there`s an ocean. And instead of cheap vodka flowing down its surface, there`s meltwater. It shouldn`t surprise you that Greenland is slowly melting away and will ultimately contribute to what could be catastrophic sea level rise (and if it does surprise you, then welcome to 2016 - you`re going to want to sit down for this). But until recently, the...
