Geologists Drill into Antarctica and Find Troubling Signs for Ice Sheets’ Future

New sediment cores from an Antarctic research drilling program suggest that the southernmost continent has had a more dynamic history than previously suspected
ERICE, Italy—If you think of Earth’s poles as fraternal twins, the Arctic has been the wild one in recent years, while the Antarctic has been a steady plodder. Withered by summer heat, Arctic [...]

Climate Change and Sea Level Rise – Crock of the week

In the book Mother Natures Super Salesman put it like this; Excerpt
“During the summer of 2005 we got started on breaking some records for melting of the Greenland ice sheet. Offering to destabilize large parts of the ice sheet on timescales measured in years or decades, not millennia. Just to emphasize the point,” said the [...]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Climate change is melting the floating ice shelves along the Antarctic Peninsula, giving scientists a preview of what could happen if other ice shelves around the southern continent disappear, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said on Monday.
The ice has retreated so far from the land mass that Charcot Island, which has long [...]

Antarctic Ice Shelf Collapse Possibly Triggered by Ocean Waves

Depicting a cause-and-effect scenario that spans thousands of miles, a scientist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and his collaborators discovered that ocean waves originating along the Pacific coasts of North and South America impact Antarctic ice shelves and could play a role in their catastrophic collapse.
Peter Bromirski of Scripps Oceanography is [...]

Climate ‘Tipping Points’ May Arrive Without Warning, Says Top Forecaster

(PhysOrg.com) — A new University of California, Davis, study by a top ecological forecaster says it is harder than experts thought to predict when sudden shifts in Earth’s natural systems will occur — a worrisome finding for scientists trying to identify the tipping points that could push climate change into an irreparable global disaster.
“Many scientists [...]

Tipping Point? West Antarctic Ice Sheet Could Become Unstable as World Warms

A new study examines how ice sheets, such as the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, could become unstable as the world warms.
The team from Oxford University and Cambridge University developed a model to explore how changes in the ‘grounding line’ — where an ice sheet floats free from its base of rock or sediment — could [...]

An Ice Shelf the Size of Rhode Island Breaks Up in Just 24 Hours 3 time-lapsed photos

3 time-lapsed photos show the incredible disintegration of the Filchner ice shelf in Antarctica.
Within a 24-hour space, an area of sea ice larger than the state of Rhode Island broke away from the Ronne-Filchner Ice Shelf and shattered into many smaller pieces. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua and Terra satellites captured [...]
