Antarctica is Melting from the Bottom Up
2013-09-16 20:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: As much as 90 percent of the ice loss in some parts of Antarctica happens beneath the water, according to researchers who report that much more ice is melting from the undersides of submerged ice shelves than previously thought. Every year 2,800 cubic kilometers leave the Antarctic ice sheet, but for decades the general consensus among scientists was that calving -- where huge chunks of ice break off from glaciers and float out to sea -- was the main source of Antarctic ice loss. Using satellite...

West Antarctica warming during end of last ice age examined
2013-08-19 12:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: The Earth goes through natural cooling and warming trends, not to be confused with man's impact on climate. Ice Ages have occurred and waned. The pace of warming at the end of an ice age has been the subject of debate. It turns out that in Antarctica the pace of warming at the end of the last ice age was far from uniform. West Antarctica began emerging from the last ice age about 22,000 years ago well before other regions of Antarctica and the rest of the world, according to a team of scientists...
Life in Antarctica Relies on Shrinking Supply of Krill
2013-08-17 18:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: On the Antarctic island of South Georgia, in February, toward the middle of what passes for summer at the bottom of the world, I hurried through the ruined whaling station of Grytviken. I had an appointment at the British Antarctic Survey station on the opposite side of King Edward Cove. I was to interview a marine ecologist working on krill. I did not want to be late. The keystone of the South Georgia ecosystem, the secret to the miraculous abundance of wildlife on this stark, cold, windswept...

Antarctica permafrost melt spurred by solar radiation boost
2013-07-26 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA times: Accelerated melting of buried ice in a dry valley of Antarctica may be a harbinger for widespread thawing of permafrost at Earth's far latitudes as worldwide climate patterns change, according to a new study. The tenfold increase from ancient melt rates evident in a dry valley near McMurdo Bay over little more than a decade comes despite a local two-decade cooling trend. Cliff-face measurements of the buried ice in the four-mile-long Garwood Valley revealed melt rates that shifted from a creeping...
