Before And After Pictures Show Greenland's Rapid Ice Melt From Space
Offbeat | Thursday August 8, 2019
An extraordinary heatwave in Europe is turning Greenland's ice sheets to water last week. Satellite imagery from European satellite network Sentinel has revealed the true extent of the thaw.
July Was Earth's Hottest Month On Record, Global Temperature Up By 2.16 Degrees
World News | Andrew Freedman, The Washington Post | Saturday August 3, 2019
July was Earth's hottest month ever recorded, "on a par with, and possibly marginally higher" than the previous warmest month, which was July 2016, according to provisional data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service.
Watch: Greenland Ice Sheet Turns Into 10 Billion Tonnes Of Water In Hours
World News | Andrew Freedman and Jason Samenow, The Washington Post | Friday August 2, 2019
When one thinks of Greenland, images of an icebound, harsh and forbidding landscape probably come to mind, not a landscape of ice pocked with melt ponds and streams transformed into raging rivers. And almost certainly not one that features wildfires.
Ice Covering Arctic Ocean Disappearing Faster Than Normal, Say Scientists
World News | Jeremy Hodges, Bloomberg | Saturday July 20, 2019
Ice covering the Arctic Ocean reached the second-lowest level recorded for this time of year after July temperatures spiked in areas around the North Pole.
Greenland's Melting Sea Ice Captured In Viral Image Of Sled Dogs In Water
Offbeat | Agence France-Presse | Thursday June 20, 2019
A striking photograph of the early ice melt taken last week by a DMI scientist in northwestern Greenland has gone viral. It shows sled dogs pushing through a fjord, the sea ice submerged under several centimetres (inches) of meltwater.
Antarctica's Ice Melt Quickens, Risks Metres Of Sea Level Rise: Study
World News | Reuters | Tuesday January 15, 2019
Antarctica's annual ice losses have accelerated six-fold in the past 40 years in a trend that could push sea levels metres higher in coming centuries amid man-made global warming, scientists said on Monday.
2017 Witnessed New Surge In Greenhouse Gases Worldwide: US Report
World News | Agence France-Presse | Thursday August 2, 2018
Planet-warming greenhouse gases surged to new highs as abnormally hot temperatures swept the globe and ice melted at record levels in the Arctic last year due to climate change, a major US report said Wednesday.
Space-X Blasts Off Sports Car-Sized Satellites To Measure Earth's Water
World News | Agence France-Presse | Wednesday May 23, 2018
A SpaceX rocket Tuesday blasted off a duo of sports car-sized satellites built by the US and Germany to reveal changes in sea level rise, ice melt and drought on Earth.
Arctic Sea Ice May Be Declining Faster Than Expected: Study
World News | Reuters | Wednesday October 25, 2017
Arctic sea ice may be thinning faster than predicted because salty snow on the surface of the ice skews the accuracy of satellite measurements, a new study from the University of Calgary said on Tuesday.
The Arctic Is 'Behaving So Bizarrely'
World News | Chris Mooney, The Washington Post | Monday December 26, 2016
Last month, temperatures in the high Arctic spiked dramatically, some 36 degrees Fahrenheit above normal - a move that corresponded with record low levels of Arctic sea ice during a time of year when this ice is supposed to be expanding during the freezing polar night.
20 Degrees Above Average, Arctic Heatwave May Break Records This Christmas
World News | Press Trust of India | Saturday December 24, 2016
In what may be a record-breaking heatwave, temperatures at the North Pole may rise up to 20 degrees higher than average this Christmas Eve, scientists have warned.
Polar Bear Numbers To Plunge A Third As Sea Ice Melts: Study
World News | Agence France-Presse | Wednesday December 7, 2016
Polar bear numbers could drop a third by mid-century, according to the first systematic assessment, released Wednesday, of how dwindling Arctic sea ice affects the world's largest bear.
Greenland Ice Melting 7 Per Cent Faster Than Thought: Study
World News | Press Trust of India | Thursday September 22, 2016
Greenland lost nearly 2,700 gigatonnes of ice from 2003-2013, 7.6 per cent more than previously thought, a new study has found.
Massive Ice 'Lid' Melting Uncorked CO2 At Ice Age's End
World News | Indo-Asian News Service | Tuesday January 5, 2016
As the Antarctic sea ice melted, massive amounts of carbon dioxide that had been trapped in the ocean were released into the atmosphere, suggests a new study reconstructing conditions at the end of the last Ice Age.
Scientists May Have Just Solved One of The Most Troubling Mysteries About Sea-Level Rise
World News | Chelsea Harvey, The Washington Post | Monday December 14, 2015
Scientists have announced a potential solution to a tantalizing puzzle about sea-level rise that's remained unsolved for more than a decade. In doing so, they've helped confirm scientists' latest estimates of 20th-century glacial melting and our understanding of how sea-level rise fundamentally affects the planet - down to the way it spins on its a...
