Sea level rise from ocean warming underestimated, scientists say
2016-01-26 03:19:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence-France Presse: The amount of sea level rise that comes from the oceans warming and expanding has been underestimated, and could be about twice as much as previously calculated, German researchers have said. The findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a peer-reviewed US journal, suggest that increasingly severe storm surges could be anticipated as a result. Sea level can mount due to two factors melting ice and the thermal expansion of water as it warms. Until now, researchers...
California residents use smartphones and drones to help scientists document El Nio's impact on coastline

Register: Forget about selfies. In California, residents are using smartphones and drones to document the coastline's changing face. Starting this month, The Nature Conservancy is asking tech junkies to capture the flooding and coastal erosion that come with El Nio, a weather pattern that's bringing California its wettest winter in years -- and all in the name of science. The idea is that crowd-sourced, geotagged images of storm surges and flooded beaches will give scientists a brief window into what...

Scientists say 2015 was hottest year in recorded history
2016-01-23 22:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
NJ Today: According to scientists at two American government agencies NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 2015 was the warmest year ever for global land and ocean surfaces, dating all the way to 1880. Not only American scientists are reporting that last year was the warmest on record, British scientists reported that it was the warmest year since 1850, and Japanese scientists reported that it was the warmest year since...

Livermore scientists find global ocean warming has doubled in recent decades
2016-01-19 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] LIVERMORE, California — Lawrence Livermore scientists, working with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and university colleagues, have found that half of the global ocean heat content increase since 1865 has occurred over the past two decades. “In recent decades the ocean has continued to warm substantially, and with time the warming signal is reaching deeper into the ocean,” said LLNL scientist Peter Gleckler, lead author of a paper published in the jo…

Rocky Mountain meltdown: CU scientists find glaciers shrinking
2016-01-14 16:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Denver Post: Colorado scientists using ground-penetrating radar have found climate change is shrinking glaciers and other icy terrain in the Rocky Mountains -- raising concerns about water supplies. The Arikaree Glacier -- likely more than 1,000 years old -- has been thinning by about 1 meter a year over the past 15 years and will disappear completely in 25 years, a team of scientists concluded. Their peer-reviewed research, unveiled Tuesday, found that rock glaciers and other ice that holds water west...
