Huffington Post: Scientists believe humans seriously threaten the existence of a rare type of wolf in Nepal. An international research team led by graduate student Madhu Chetri from Norway's Hedmark University College confirmed that four fecal samples found in Nepal's Trans-Himalayan region belonged to Himalayan wolves. Anecdotal evidence indicated that these wolves still roamed the mountains of Nepal, India and Tibet. The team, whose work was published last week in the journal ZooKeys, has proven the animals...
NASA scientists scrutinize arctic gas flaring pollution
2016-04-26 15:48:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Phys.Org: Flaring of waste natural gas from industrial oil fields in the Northern Hemisphere is a potential source of significant amounts of nitrogen dioxide and black carbon to the Arctic, according to a new NASA study. Nitrogen dioxide is a well-known air pollutant and health hazard, and black carbon, also known as soot, is an agent of global warming that is critical for understanding climate change effects in the Arctic. In addition to absorbing sunlight while aloft, which heats the air, black carbon...

Yale Environment 360: Lake That Could Contain Unique Life Forms NASA/Michael Studinger Scientists have discovered what they think is a massive, ribbon-shaped lake under the Antarctic ice sheet that could lead to the discovery of a bevy of new unique life forms. The lake, which measures 60 miles long by 6 miles wide, was discovered using satellite imagery, and scientists plan to confirm its existence using ice-penetrating radar this spring. The lake has likely been locked under the ice for millions of years -- allowing...

Worlds Scientists Prepare For Historic Southern Ocean Expedition To Complete Monumental Antarctic C
2016-04-23 23:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inquisitr: World scientists are all geared up for a historic scientific expedition around the southern continent of Antarctica later this year. The expedition will involve researchers looking to circumnavigate the entire southern continent over a three-month journey in order to study the impact of climate change in the region for the first time. The Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition, or ACE, will involve over 50 scientists from 30 countries who will embark on the Russian vessel Akademik Treshnikov in December...
