Unexpected Climate Feedback Links Antarctic Ice Sheet with Reduced Carbon Uptake

100% Center coverage: 2 sources

A study in Nature Geoscience reveals that changes in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) closely tracked marine algae growth in the Southern Ocean over previous glacial cycles, but not in the way scientists expected. The key factor is iron-rich sediments transported by icebergs from West Antarctica.See the Story

A bold attempt to study Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier, which is melting rapidly, collapsed over the weekend after scientists’ instruments were buried within half a mile thick ice. A team of British and South Korean researchers were trying to install instruments under the immense glacier, where they would collect data, the first of their kind, on the warm ocean waters that are melting the ice at a rate of hundreds of feet per year.See the Story

"Arctic" Means Bear, "Antarctic" Is "the Opposite of Bear": but It's Really Not because of Polar Bears

If you visit Antarctica (the South Pole), you’ll find plenty of plump, slow-moving penguins, and one major reason they thrive there is that it’s a completely bear-free area. Polar bears, on the other hand, are found at the other end of the globe, at the North Pole (the Arctic), much to the delight of the penguins in the South who avoid them. So it makes perfect sense to learn that the word “Arctic” comes from the Greek word arktikós, meaning “re…Antarctica · Antarctica Read Article

Saving the Doomsday Glacier: Is It Time To Build A Giant Antarctic Wall? » Explorersweb

But as the world's most powerful people stall, deny, or ignore the problem, many now believe it is time to look for geoengineering solutions. Geoegineering, or climate engineering, involves deliberately altering the Earth's climate to counteract anthropogenic cl…Climate Change · Antarctica Read Article
