Researchers say less Arctic sea ice means more precipitation
2015-12-22 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: A research paper published Monday by U.S. and Canadian scientists says less sea ice in the Arctic has meant more precipitation is falling. Lead author Ben Kopec, of Dartmouth College, says researchers looked at 20 years of precipitation data at sites in the Canadian Arctic and the Greenland Sea. They measured isotope compositions to determine whether moisture originated in the Arctic or from lower latitudes. They found that as sea ice diminished, more precipitation fell and more came from Arctic...

Glacial Melt and Precipitation Create Massive Runoff in Gulf of Alaska
2015-03-20 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Rapidly melting glaciers, rain, and snow are combining to dump a massive amount of freshwater into the Gulf of Alaska, with important implications for ocean chemistry and marine biology, according to a new study. So much meltwater is now flowing into the Gulf of Alaska that if all the streams and other runoff sources were combined it would create the worlds sixth-largest coastal river, according to research in The Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans. The collective discharge into the Gulf of...
