Plastic litter taints the sea surface, even in the Arctic
2015-10-22 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: In a new study, researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) show for the first time that marine litter can even be found at the sea surface of Arctic waters. Though it remains unclear how the litter made it so far north, it is likely to pose new problems for local marine life, the authors report on the online portal of the scientific journal Polar Biology. Plastic has already been reported from stomachs of resident seabirds and Greenland sharks....
Perth's double whammy: as sea levels rise the city itself is sinking
2015-10-22 07:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Growing demand for water in Perth has caused the city to sink at up to 6mm a year and could be responsible for an apparent acceleration in the rate of sea level rise, according to new research released by Curtin University. The study, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research in October, found that the rate of subsidence in Perth increased between 2000 and 2005, at the same time as the Water Corporation of WA increased the amount of water it was drawing from the citys two main aquifers to...
Sea Ice and Circulation: North Pacific Sea Ice Plays Significant Role, New Research Says
2015-10-21 01:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Sea ice forming slowly and quietly in coastal regions may be behind it all. That is, that briny ice is one of the main drivers of circulation deep in the ocean, and influences climate regionally and worldwide--although it isn't reflected well in current global climate models. A paper on that topic was recently accepted for publication in the journal Paleoceanography. Researchers from University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) and elsewhere analyzed sediment cores from the Bering Sea that show...
