Scientists Praise Contributions of Two Dutch Explorers Who Perished on Arctic Ice

New York Times: Ten days ago, the grinding slow-motion rivers of floating sea ice flowing around Canadas Arctic archipelago claimed the lives of Marc Cornelissen and Philip de Roo, seasoned Dutch polar trekkers combining an adventurous spirit with environmental activism and citizen science. After several recovery efforts were aborted due to foul weather and unstable ice, one body (as yet unidentified) was retrieved on Friday, Canadian police said. But there is little closure for loved ones, and the loss of these...

Scientists weigh up new evidence on Antarctic ice melt
2015-05-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Antarctica has been losing its ice cover at an average rate of 92 billion tons a year since at least 2003, according to new research. And while the scientists cant yet say for certain that human-made climate change is the main cause, they warn that the ice loss has the potential to have serious impacts on sea level rise. The southern continent is the Earths largest store of fresh water, but is also its least studied area, having had no known human visitors until the late 18th century. So while...

Scientists on 'strangest continent' Antarctica investigate effect climate change on animals
2015-05-05 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Radio Australia: An eclectic group of scientists in Antarctica, known as the "strangest continent on earth", undertake painstaking research into the effects of climate change on local animals and the environment. King George Island is a remote speck of ice-covered mountains at the far north of the Antarctic Peninsula. It is also the nearest thing in Antarctica to an accessible destination. Every summer, hundreds of scientists fly down from the bottom of South America to the island's gravel runway operated by...

Scientists tackle 'difficult problem' how warming spreads Lyme disease

ClimateWire: In 2008, Rachael French, a then-healthy 22-year-old, vacationed with friends in a cabin in the woods near Gaylord, Mich. On the last day of the trip, while at a local water park, French said she felt the sting of chlorine on an open wound, looked down and noticed a small scab on her thigh. She figured it was a spider bite. Within hours, she remembers feeling nauseated, sore and exhausted, but chalked it up to having a busy vacation. Things became a bit foggy from there, she said. When she...
