Doing the math on polar sea-ice melt
2014-03-08 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Antarctica may be the last place one would expect to find a mathematician, but Ken Golden isn't your average mathematician. Golden, a mathematician at the University of Utah, is using math to model the melting of the polar ice caps. He has been on multiple expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic, where he studies how the microscopic structure of ice affects the large-scale melting of the ice caps. "We're using pretty sophisticated mathematics to better understand the role of sea ice in the...
Global warming: Study shows Arctic sea ice melt season lengthening five days per decade

Summit Voice: Averaged across the Arctic, the melt season is lengthening by five days each decade, with much of the change coming in the fall, when a warmer ocean simply takes longer to freeze than in the past. The extent of sea ice in the Arctic has been declining for the last four decades, said University College London researcher Julienne Stroeve, part of a research team that studied satellite data to track sea ice trends in the age of global warming. The data confirm that the Arctic Ocean absorbing...

Arctic Sea Ice Melt Season Getting Longer
2014-02-15 15:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: The summer melt season for Arctic sea ice has lengthened by a month or more since 1979, a new study finds. The primary culprit is a delayed fall freeze-up -- the autumn chill when sea water freezes into ice -- but the fallout remains the same: the Arctic ice cap is stuck in a vicious feedback loop betwixt its warming environment and melting ice, researchers reported Feb. 4 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. The Arctic is one of the fastest warming places on Earth. Temperatures here...
Emperor Penguins Forced To Climb Cliffs To Breed As Climate Change Causes Arctic Sea Ice To Melt

Huffington Post: When an animal species depends on sea ice for a good part of its life cycle, what are they going to do when that sea ice starts to melt and disappear due to climate change? Well for some colonies of emperor penguins, it appears the only solution is to move away from that melting sea ice even if it means climbing up the very steep sides of floating ice shelves to find safer breeding sites. The new behavior described this week in the journal PLoS One was observed in four of the 46 known emperor...
