Arctic Sea Ice Hits All-Time Winter Low
2015-03-20 13:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Journal: Arctic sea ice has reached its lowest-ever wintertime level, a fresh indication that rapidly rising global temperatures are significantly impacting the polar region. The National Snow and Ice Data Center announced Thursday that this year's Arctic ice cover hit a peak of 5.61 million square miles at the end of February, an alltime winter low since records began in 1979. Arctic sea ice expands and shrinks on a seasonal basis. Polar ice is typically at its thickest and most expansive in the winter...
Sea Level Changes Caused Earth's Oldest Sea Turtles Become Extinct
2015-03-19 22:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Changes in sea level reportedly caused Earth's oldest sea turtles to become extinct, providing insight into what could possibly happen to modern-day turtles battling climate change-related sea level rise. Little is known about the earliest sea turtle species that inhabited Earth millions of years ago. Although, in 2009 scientists discovered the remains of Hispaniachelys prebetica - supposedly the oldest sea turtle in southern Europe - in the Baetic Cordillera, in Jaén. They thought they had...
The importance of methane seeps in microbial biodiversity of sea floor
2015-03-19 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: A new study provides evidence that methane seeps are island-like habitats that harbor distinct microbial communities unique from other seafloor ecosystems." These seeps play an important role in microbial biodiversity of the sea floor. Methane seeps are natural gas leaks in the sea floor that emit methane into the water. Microorganisms that live on or near these seeps can use the methane as a food source, preventing the gas from collecting in the surrounding hydrosphere or migrating into the...

Arctic Sea Hits Record Low Winter Peak
2015-03-19 22:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Warm temperatures in parts of the polar regions kept sea ice levels depressed, and also contributed to the winter peak occurring much earlier than usual, the National Snow & Ice Data Center announced Thursday. The maximum normally isn't reached until early March, but was recorded about a week early this year, the NSIDC said. That low occurred on the backdrop of overall dwindling sea ice levels, fueled by global warming. The extent of Arctic sea ice is monitored by satellites throughout the year....
