Ancient Indonesian Climate Shift Linked To Glacial Cycle
2014-03-25 21:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Using sediments from a remote lake, researchers from Brown University have assembled a 60,000-year record of rainfall in central Indonesia. The analysis reveals important new details about the climate history of a region that wields a substantial influence on the global climate as a whole. The Indonesian archipelago sits in the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool, an expanse of ocean that supplies a sizable fraction of the water vapor in Earth`s atmosphere and plays a role in propagating El Nio cycles. Despite...

Climate change enhances risks of glacial lakes flooding mountain communities
2013-02-27 17:34:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Public Radio International: Lakes high in the world's mountains are becoming increasingly dangerous to the towns that have sprouted up near them. The lakes are prone to floods, typically caused when the mountain glaciers that feed them shed a chunk of ice and rock, forcing thousands of gallons over the banks. The hamlet of Carhuaz, in Peru's Cordillera Blanca Range, could hardly be more picturesque. Birds chirp while venders hawk their goods at an open-air market in the town tucked into a fold at the furrowed base of...

AlertNet: Abdul Jabbar was in his house in the Bindu Gol valley of Pakistan's northern Chitral district when a glacial lake burst through the ridge holding it back high above. "We felt the ground shaking and heard the roar of the water, and we ran out of our homes,' he said. The 2010 flood destroyed a few dwellings in his village of Drongagh, as well as many orchards, cultivated fields and water channels. "One person died in Shogram village when she chased after her livestock and was swept away by the water,'...
Unprecedented Glacial Melting In Andes Blamed On Global Warming
2013-01-22 22:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Only four months ago and a continent away, researchers were looking into the varying degrees of ice accumulation and ablation within the Himalayan glacial system. In that report, published by the National Research Council (NRC), the team concluded that glacial melt could pose significant issues for the native populations that depend on the water runoff from these glaciers for their day-to-day lives. An international team of scientists from Europe, South America and the U.S. has turned its focus...
