Heres How Arctic Sea Ice Could Shrink Even More
2014-08-19 14:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: As the sea ice covering the Arctic continues to shrink under the influence of greenhouse gas-induced warming, it's causing a host of other changes in the region, including the growth of large waves in the previously iced-over areas. Those waves could potentially reinforce and hasten the demise of sea ice, leading to further changes in the fragile polar realm. Changes brought on by global warming in the Arctic region have been well documented. Temperatures there have risen twice as fast as the...
Fracking the Arctic

Yale Environment 360: Among the dozens of rivers that flow unfettered through the Canadian North, the Natla and the Keele may be the most picturesque and culturally important. They are especially significant to the Dene people of the Sahtu region, which straddles the Arctic Circle in the Northwest Territories. Both of the rivers flow crystal clear out of the Mackenzie Mountains along the Yukon/Northwest Territories border before coming together in their final course to the Mackenzie River. For hundreds--if not thousands--of...
Study finds link between Arctic change and extreme mid-latitude weather
2014-08-18 08:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: A team of researchers with members from Europe and the U.S. has found a possible link between Arctic amplification and severe weather in the northern mid-latitude parts of the planet. In their paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience, the researchers describe how they conducted a review of the findings of other researchers looking for a connection between Arctic warming and extreme weather events and what they found as a result. For the past several years planetary researchers have begun...

Climate Impacts Of Arctic Sea Ice Loss To Be Investigated By NASA
2014-08-15 19:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: A new NASA field campaign will begin flights over the Arctic this summer to study the effect of sea ice retreat on Arctic climate. The Arctic Radiation IceBridge Sea and Ice Experiment (ARISE) will conduct research flights Aug. 28 through Oct. 1, covering the peak of summer sea ice melt. ARISE is NASA`s first Arctic airborne campaign designed to take simultaneous measurements of ice, clouds and the levels of incoming and outgoing radiation, the balance of which determines the degree of climate...

The Arctic is Definitely Losing its Snow, Say Experts
2014-08-14 20:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Experts from NASA and the University of Washington (UW) have recently determined with certainty that the Arctic is losing its snow depth at an alarming rate, especially on its sea ice. This should not be surprising for anyone who has been paying attention to the recent alarming news from the Arctic. NASA and other organizations say that the Arctic has started experiencing increased summer sea ice loss within the last few years, indicating a drastic shift in overall seasonal sea and air temperatures...
