Times of India: Scientists have rung another warning bell about changes in the fragile ecosystem of the Arctic, saying that vegetation found in areas several degrees to the south of the region 30 years ago was now showing up in parts of the Arctic due to global warming linked temperature rise. A Nasa-funded international study published in Nature Climate Change on Sunday, used a new 30-year satellite data set and temperature records to study the effect of temperature rise on vegetation in the Arctic and regions...

Study finds climate change is making Arctic seasons more like south
2013-03-10 19:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Canadian Press: Newly published research says climate change has already altered seasons in the Arctic to make them more like southern regions. And while tundra plant communities are already becoming shrubbier, scientists behind the paper say there's no way to predict what's going to happen as the change continues. "We are doing a strange experiment," said Ranga Myneni of Boston University, co-author of the paper published Sunday in Nature Climate Change. It's long been known that climate change is proceeding...

Alaska Dispatch: Kenji Yoshikawa will soon sleep on brilliant, blue-white landscape that has never felt the imprint of his boots. Beginning on spring equinox, the permafrost scientist and a partner will attempt to drive snowmachines from Prudhoe Bay to Canadas Baffin Island. While traveling a distance equal to Seattle to Tokyo to Seattle over land and sea ice, Yoshikawa will camp outside villages in an Arctic Oven tent. Along the way, hell stop at village schools in Canadas far north, drill holes in the ground...

Warmer climate to open new Arctic shipping routes by 2050: study
2013-03-08 22:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The quickest way to get goods from Asia to the U.S. East Coast in 2050 might well be straight across the Arctic, where a warming climate is expected to open new sea routes through what is now impenetrable ice, a study reported on Monday. Most shipping traffic between these two centers currently goes through the Suez or Panama canals, and that is likely to continue even as melting Arctic sea ice makes the far north more accessible. But increasingly warm temperatures also could make the Northwest...

Global warming to open up new shipping routes in Arctic by 2050
2013-03-08 01:00:00| Ship Technology
Global warming could make Arctic Ocean ice fragile enough for ordinary ships to sail in the region without any need foricebreakers by 2050, according to a study by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
