Arctic Sea Ice Minimum in 2013 Is Sixth Lowest On Record
2013-09-21 09:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: After an unusually cold summer in the northernmost latitudes, Arctic sea ice appears to have reached its annual minimum summer extent for 2013 on Sept. 13, the NASA-supported National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado in Boulder has reported. Analysis of satellite data by NSIDC and NASA showed that the sea ice extent shrunk to 1.97 million square miles (5.10 million square kilometers). This year's sea ice extent is substantially higher than last year's record low minimum....
Arctic Ice Makes Comeback From Record Low, but Long-Term Decline May Continue
2013-09-21 02:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean underwent a sharp recovery this year from the record-low levels of 2012, with 50 percent more ice surviving the summer melt season, scientists said Friday. It is the largest one-year increase in Arctic ice since satellite tracking began in 1978. The experts added, however, that much of the ice remains thin and slushy, a far cry from the thick Arctic pack ice of the past. Because thin ice is subject to rapid future melting, the scientists said this years recovery was...
Arctic on course for ice-free summer 'within decades', scientists say
2013-09-20 22:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The Arctic is on course for an ice-free summer within the next few decades, as scientist on Friday declared that sea ice in the region had fallen to one of the lowest annual minimums on record. On 13 September, the expanse of frozen water in the Arctic fell to 5.10 million square kilometres (1.97 million square miles), the sixth-lowest such measurement on record, the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said in a statement. The annual minimum was not as extreme as the collapse of sea ice...

Arctic sea ice reaches seasonal low
2013-09-20 20:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Sea-ice extent in the Arctic appears to have arrived at its yearly minimum, scientists report. The US National Snow and Ice Data Center says this summer's marine floes were reduced in cover to 5.10 million sq km (1.97 million sq mi). This low was reached on 13 September. It represents almost 50% more ice than the spectacular satellite-era record-minimum achieved this time last year - when floes were reduced to just 3.41 million sq km (1.32 million sq mi). The NSIDC describes this summer's...
Russia detains Greenpeace ship after Arctic protest
2013-09-20 17:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Russian authorities have detained a Greenpeace ship and threatened to bring criminal charges after activists scaled Russia's first Arctic offshore oil platform. Greenpeace said armed coastguards had forcibly boarded and seized the Arctic Sunrise on Thursday, a day after two activists were plucked from the side of the Prirazlomnaya rig, owned by the state-controlled energy giant Gazprom, and arrested. The Federal Security Service (FSB) said the Amsterdam-registered ship was being towed to Murmansk...
