Shifting Earth Axis Causing Northern Pole To Drift Rapidly East Amid Climate Change
2016-04-10 09:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
News Oxy: The shifting Earth axis is causing the northern pole to drift rapidly eastward, and it looks like climate change is to blame. The discovery may have major implications for studies of ice loss and drought, potentially improving our ability to predict such changes in the future. Earth turns around an axis like a giant spinning top, according to ABC News. The places where that invisible axis intersects with the planet`s surface are the north and south rotational poles. Due to Earth`s wobble on its...

Earth Axis Is Shifting & It's all Because Of Climate Change
2016-04-09 23:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Fayette Advocate: The movements of the Earth's axis are crucial to understand, since they affect the performance of satellites and global positioning systems. The study, published recently in the journal Nature Geoscience, also revealed that about half of the ice in north-central Greenland is resting on a thawed bed and that the meltwater is routed to the ocean through a dense hydrological network beneath the ice. The study doesn't say whether these climate changes are man-made but that they seem to be affecting...
How melting ice sheets are changing the way the Earth moves on its axis video explainer

Guardian: Global warming is changing the way the Earth moves on its polar axis. A new Nasa study says that Melting ice sheets are affecting the distribution of weight on Earth, which is causing both the North Pole and the wobble, which is called polar motion, to change course. Scientists say the polar motion shift is harmless, but that it highlights the impact humans are having on the planet

Melting ice sheets changing the way the Earth wobbles on its axis, says Nasa
2016-04-09 02:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Global warming is changing the way the Earth wobbles on its polar axis, a new Nasa study has found. Melting ice sheets, especially in Greenland, are changing the distribution of weight on Earth. And that has caused both the North Pole and the wobble, which is called polar motion, to change course, according to a study published on Friday in the journal Science Advances. Scientists and navigators have been accurately measuring the true pole and polar motion since 1899, and for almost the entire...
Massive volcanoes may have knocked Moons axis off kilter
2016-03-24 13:26:18| Extremetech
A new paper argues that massive volcanism on the moon may have actually tilted its axis millions of years ago. This axial tilt would have impacted the distribution of ice at the lunar north and south pole -- and we see evidence of unusual variation that persists to this day.
