West Antarctic Glacier Collapse Unstoppable
2014-05-13 16:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment News Service: A rapidly melting section of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet appears to be in irreversible decline, with nothing to stop the entire glacial basin from disappearing into the sea, according to researchers at NASA and the University of California, Irvine. The study presents multiple lines of evidence, incorporating 40 years of observations that indicate the glaciers in the Amundsen Sea sector of West Antarctica "have passed the point of no return," warns glaciologist and lead author glaciologist Eric...

Airborne Radar Surveys And Data-Based Models Indicate West Antarctic Ice Sheet Collapse Is Underway

National Science Foundation- (NSF) funded researchers at the University of Washington have concluded that Antarctica's fast-moving Thwaites Glacier will likely disappear in a matter of centuries, potentially raising sea level by more than a half-a-meter (two feet).
The West Antarctic glaciers are breaking up with us

Grist: Its Monday, and you probably wanted to ease into the week with a post about cute animals or something. Instead, today scientists broke the news that the West Antarctic ice sheet is now in irreversible collapse, meaning a likely 10 to 15 foot global sea-level rise in coming centuries. Before you get cranking on that ark (maybe you can have those cute animals after all!), let`s take a deep breath. Theres still uncertainty about how cataclysmic this particular cataclysm is.

West Antarctic glaciers in "irreversible" thaw, raising seas -study
2014-05-12 15:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Vast glaciers in West Antarctica seem to be locked in an irreversible thaw linked to global warming that may push up sea levels for centuries, scientists said on Monday. Six glaciers, eaten away from below by a warming of sea waters around the frozen continent, were flowing fast into the Amundsen Sea, according to the report based partly on satellite radar measurements from 1992 to 2011. Evidence shows "a large sector of the West Antarctic ice sheet has gone into a state of irreversible retreat",...
