Warmer world to push sea turtle numbers up
2014-05-19 14:42:04| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Some like it hot While warming temperatures will produce more female than male sea turtle hatchings, sea turtle populations will not crash - at least for the next few decades, a new study suggests. In fact, sea turtle populations will increase because males breed more frequently than females, report researchers today in Nature Climate Change. Sex in many reptile species is determined by temperature during incubation. For sea turtles incubation temperatures below 29°C produce male hatchlings;...
Greenland Could Become Greater Contributor To Sea Level Rise Than Previously Expected
2014-05-19 13:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Greenland`s icy reaches are far more vulnerable to warm ocean waters from climate change than had been thought, according to new research by UC Irvine and NASA glaciologists. The work, published May 18 in Nature Geoscience, shows previously uncharted deep valleys stretching for dozens of miles under the Greenland Ice Sheet. The bedrock canyons sit well below sea level, meaning that as subtropical Atlantic waters hit the fronts of hundreds of glaciers, those edges will erode much further than had...

Greenland glacial melt is growing factor rising sea levels
2014-05-18 18:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Al Jazeera: Greenlands glaciers are far more vulnerable to climate change-induced warming oceans than previously thought, a report released Sunday by UC- Irvine and NASA glaciologists said. The study, published in the journal Nature Geoscience, reveals previously uncharted deep valleys stretching for dozens of miles under the Greenland Ice Sheet -- showing that there are no natural barriers to stop the melting. The findings echo a report released last week showing that glacial melting in West Antarctica...
