Scientists have found yet another part of Antarctica that may be in trouble
2016-06-01 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Wahingtonpost: The forces affecting the ice in West Antarctica are an area of urgent focus for climate scientists who are all too aware of the ice sheets huge potential contributions to global sea-level rise. A great deal of this attention has centered on a specific region bordering the Amundsen Sea, south of the Antarctic Peninsula, where research has suggested that a set of rapidly retreating glaciers -- including the famous Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers -- may be increasingly vulnerable to collapse. But...

A satellite study, published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience, has revealed nearly 40 previously unreported major sources of sulfur dioxide emissions -- a pollutant that can cause multiple harmful health and environmental impacts and even exacerbate global warming. Sulfur dioxide pollution can come from a variety of sources, both natural and industrial, including volcanoes,...

Guardian: Municipal water in Flint, Michigan, has improved significantly and is suitable for personal cleanliness uses, scientists said Tuesday in a bid to calm fears raised by actor Mark Ruffalo and others who have questioned the safety of the supply that flows into the citys bathtubs and showers. Marc Edwards, a Virginia Tech engineering professor whose testing last summer confirmed the lead contamination of Flints water, said sampling in recent months has found that lead levels are steadily declining,...
