Cryosphere in the News

28 September 2012
Research intensifies over rapidly melting Arctic ice
"I didn't think it would rain so much at this height and abruptly erode the snowy surface." (The Asahi Shimbun, Japan)

28 September 2012
What happens at the poles: Lowest Arctic sea ice on record
"The affect of the Arctic sea ice diminishing will not just remain in the far north, we can (and should) expect more and more extreme weather as a result of this year's ice loss." (National Geographic)

26 September 2012
Peruvian innovators trying to save disappearing glaciers
"Peru is a dry country, dependent on glaciers for virtually all of its water supply. But as the climate changes, the glaciers are drying up and vanishing. But two Peruvian entrepreneurs have conceived homemade solutions to try and reverse the disappearance of Peru's lifeline." (Public Radio International)

25 September 2012
Antarctic seals survive arrival of massive icebergs
"The calving of the 4,250-square-mile (11,000 square kilometers) B-15 iceberg gave researchers a unique opportunity to examine how living things respond to an extreme event in their environment—in this case, the arrival of the chunks of B-15." (LiveScience.com)

24 September 2012
Expedition to study methane gas bubbling out of the Arctic seafloor
"In the remote, ice-shrouded Beaufort Sea, methane (the main component of natural gas) has been bubbling out of the seafloor for thousands of years. MBARI geologist Charlie Paull and his colleagues at the Geological Survey of Canada are trying to figure out where this gas is coming from, how fast it is bubbling out of the sediments, and how it affects the shape and stability of the seafloor." (Phys.Org)

20 September 2012
Glacier suffers one of the highest shrinkages on record
"Due to higher than normal temperatures this summer the experts found that the total 2011-2012 mass loss was more than 50 percent greater than the annual average at 1.63 meters water equivalent, a key measurement used to determine the size of glaciers across the world" (The University of Sheffield, United Kingdom)

19 September 2012
Antarctic ice streams may trigger major melting
"The Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf in the Weddell Sea, thought to be isolated from the open waters, is actually at risk for melting as warm ocean currents invade its underbelly, melting the shelf below." (CBS News)

19 September 2012
Nunavut government to make permafrost guide for homeowners
"In some parts of the western Arctic, melting permafrost is already a builder's foe. The shifting ground can wreak havoc on foundations, requiring expensive repairs." (CBC News, Canada)

18 September 2012
Research suggests alpine glaciers play critical role in carbon cycle
"Organic matter, once released from the glacier, may actually act to stimulate the heterotrophic metabolism in glacier-fed streams which otherwise typically lack energy sources. The ever-present carbon cycle carries on as microorganisms in glacier-fed streams may process the ancient organic carbon that will then leave the stream as carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide then cycles back into the atmosphere." (RedOrbit.com)

18 September 2012
Manhattan-sized ice island heads out to sea
"Remember that enormous slab of ice that broke off Greenland's Petermann Glacier back in July? It's now on its way out to sea, a little bit smaller than it was a couple of months ago—but not much." (Phys.Org)

14 September 2012
Arctic sea ice melt "may bring harsh winter
"The unprecedented loss of polar sea ice may lead to wild extremes in the United Kingdom and northern Europe, say researchers." (The Guardian, United Kingdom)

14 September 2012
Antarctic plan hits iceberg
"Antarctica's Ross Sea is often described as the most isolated and pristine ocean on Earth, a place where seals and penguins still rule the waves and humans are about as far away as they could be. But even there it has proven difficult, and maybe impossible, for nations to agree on how strongly to protect the environment." (Khaleej Times)

14 September 2012
Melting glaciers key to greater reliance on hydroelectric power?
"The great glaciers of the Alps are melting. Several climate change scenarios, some of which are based on an average temperature increase of +4 degrees Celsius, predict their complete disappearance by the end of this century. As they retreat, the glaciers uncover cavities; these fill with meltwater, becoming lakes." (Phys.Org)

14 September 2012
Prehistoric glaciers reacted rapidly to a brief cold snap
"The study found that mountain glaciers on Baffin Island, along with a massive North American ice sheet, expanded quickly when the Earth cooled about 8,200 years ago. The surprising part of this is that the cold snap was extremely short-lived. The temperatures fell for only a few decades, and then returned to "normal" levels within 150 years or so."
