Mother Nature Network: By the time today's babies graduate college, there's a very good chance they could celebrate with a cruise across the North Pole. That's according to the latest study on Arctic summer sea ice, the frozen pack that lingers through the Northern Hemisphere summer. In past decades, there's been less summer ice, and it's growing thinner. The research, published online Feb. 21 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, says major sea ice loss could come within a decade or two, though some ice will...

Arctic Climate Change: sea ice changes increase light absorption, ocean warming

2013-01-01 18:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Bay Area Indymedia: As multi-year sea ice is replaced with thinner first year sea ice, the properties of the sea ice change to allow more light through to the water beneath increasing ocean warming and more melting of sea ice. The study was conducted by scientists with the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in the Helmholtz Association from the research vessel Polarstern. The scientists used a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to go under the summer sea ice with spectral radiometers. Light transmittance...
