Predictions of Arctic summer ice melt come with lots of uncertainty
2014-08-02 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Alaska Dispatch: Every year, as Arctic sea ice thins, scatters and melts, scientists ask: How low will it go? While the long-term trend of less summer Arctic ice is clear, the short-term outlook for total melt in any given year is far murkier, thanks to the many and sometimes highly volatile factors that drive the final outcome. Still, scientists are attempting to predict how much Arctic sea ice will remain at the end of this years melt, expected in mid to late September. The latest round of expert predictions,...
Scientists investigate Arctic sea ice melt with sensors & aquatic robots
2014-07-19 07:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: An international team of scientists have attached sensors to Arctic sea ice to measure this years summer melt in a massive, unprecedented experiment. The study will focus on the so-called marginal ice zone north of Alaska and Canada, the region that lies between the solid Arctic ice and the open water out to sea. Scientists will use the sensors, placed both above and below the ice, to investigate the various impacts that open water can have on sea ice. Open water can, for example, expose...

Warm water likely to accelerate Antarctic ice melt and sea-level rise, Australian scientists find
2014-07-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Warm water is likely to increasingly displace cold water around the Antarctic coastline, prompting accelerated ice melt and more sea level rise, according to new Australian research. Scientists from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have modelled how shifting wind patterns can drag warm water currents right up to the base of the giant ice shelves. "What you usually have is cold water sitting next to the ice shelves at about minus 2 degrees Celsius and then warm water further out," said...
A Dusty Greenland Is Speeding Up Glacial Melt
2014-06-10 08:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: Greenland provides one of the best real-time visuals of climate change - cleaving glaciers the size of buildings cascading into the ocean as one long, slow river of ice returning to the sea. A new study shows that a layer of dust covering much of Greenland`s ice sheet could be speeding up this process. A paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience suggests that dust particles embedded in Greenland`s massive ice sheet are gathering more heat than the otherwise white, reflective surface would...
