Melt from below helping shrink Antarctic glaciers
2013-09-18 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: The ice that Antarctica is losing as chunks break off the continent's many glaciers may be only the tip of the iceberg. Scientists now find much of the ice Antarctica loses is due to melting from the undersides of ice shelves. During the last decade, the Antarctic ice sheet has been melting an increasing amount each year, mostly in the western portion of the continent. Most of the ice Antarctica loses is replaced by snowfall, but any ice that is not replaced adds to a rise in global sea level. ...

Gas Flaring and Residential Burning Possibly Spurring Arctic Ice Melt: A Study
2013-09-10 21:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Gas flaring and residential burning contributes a greater amount of black carbon to the Arctic than previously believed, possibly increasing the amount of ice melt taking place in the region. The discovery, made by a team from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), was based on the particle dispersion model FLEXPART and emissions estimates calculated using the IIASA Gains model. The team also gathered measurements of black carbon in the Arctic through a number of research...
Drones Find New Purpose Studying Arctic Ice Melt

Guardian: The logical next step for exploring some of the world's most inhospitable terrain is being taken. Researchers are using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) -- drones -- to explore the last great repositories of ice in Greenland, Antarctica and Alaska. Researchers are using unmanned aerial vehicles -- drones -- to explore the last great repositories of ice in Greenland, Antarctica and Alaska. About two dozen universities and research organizations, including NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric...
