New York Times: The glaciers of the Canadian West could shrink by 70 percent by 2100, according to new research that has implications for predicting glacier loss around the world. The loss of mountain glaciers contributes to the rise in sea levels. As glaciers dwindle there could be also be pronounced effects on availability of water for aquatic creatures and for agriculture as well as water quality issues. The report, published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience, combines scientific disciplines to develop...
How Western Canada glaciers will melt away

CBC: Wonder what your favourite glacier to ski or hike will look like in 20 or 40 years? A new study makes detailed predictions about how the glaciers in B.C. and Alberta will melt and shrink between now and 2100. Glaciers are melting rapidly around the world, including in Canada, and human-caused climate change is now considered to be the main driver. Glacier melt worldwide now caused mainly by humans Unprecedented B.C. glacier melt seeps into U.S. climate change concerns Thousands of glaciers...

Warming: Canada glaciers to shrink by 70pc by 2100
2015-04-07 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: The glaciers of western Canada, one of the world's most picturesque mountain regions, are likely to largely melt away over just three generations, scientists said today. By 2100, the glaciers of Alberta and British Columbia are set to shrink by 75 per cent in area compared to 2005 levels, and by 70 per cent in volume, according to their predictions. But in two out of the three regions that were studied, the decline could be even more dramatic -- over 90 per cent. The loss will hit many sectors,...

But in two out of the three regions that were studied, the decline could be even more dramatic over 90%. The loss will hit many sectors, from agriculture,...

Western Canada's Glaciers Could Vanish by 2100
2015-04-06 22:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Canada's glacial ice draws millions of tourists and provides drinking water to two countries, but this important economic resource could disappear by the end of the 21st century, a new study finds. For the study, scientists devised a new computer model that predicts how glaciers will respond to future climate change. The results were dismal. In the Rocky Mountains of Alberta and British Columbia, 90 percent of the spectacular mountain glaciers may vanish by 2100, according to research published...
