All Arctic ice could melt by 2027, warn scientists

India Today  

An alarming new study reveals that the Arctic could experience its first summer with nearly all sea ice melted as early as 2027, marking a significant milestone in climate change. The research indicates that the Arctic sea ice is diminishing at an unprecedented rate of over 12% per decade due to rising greenhouse gas emissions. This year, the National Snow …

The first color that comes to mind when thinking about Antarctica is a stark white, which makes sense, given the southernmost continent is generally buried in ice and snow. While there has been ample previous research on related phenomena like ice melt and sea ice melt, the scientists behind the new paper bluntly declare that “this trend echoes a wider …

Greenland glaciers melt five times faster than 20 years ago

The Hindu  

Global warming has increased the speed at which glaciers in Greenland are melting by fivefold over the last 20 years, scientists from the University of Copenhagen said on Friday. Greenland's ice melt is of particular concern, as the ancient ice sheet holds enough water to raise sea levels by at least 20 feet if it were to melt away entirely. …

The Hindu  

Around 40% of Antarctica's ice shelves have significantly shrunk over the last 25 years, scientists said on Thursday, in findings the European Space Agency said were "alarming". The melting saw 71 of Antarctica's 162 ice shelves lose mass from 1997 to 2021 - of which 68 posted a "statistically significant" reduction, according to the study published in the journal Science …

Swiss glacier watcher warns recent heat wave threatens severe melt again this year after record 2022

Associated Press  

GENEVA — A top glacier watcher has warned that a warm early summer combined with a heat wave last week may have caused severe glacier melt in Switzerland, threatening to make 2023 its second-worst year for ice loss after a record thaw last year. Matthias Huss of the GLAMOS glacier monitoring center said full data won’t be in until late …

As glaciers melt, a new study seeks protection of ecosystems that emerge in their place

Associated Press  

GENEVA — A new scientific study published Thursday suggests the world should start preparing to protect the ecosystems that emerge from under the disappearing ice, as a warming planet is inevitably causing glaciers to melt. Glaciers play a key role on the planet, by reflecting sunlight or providing fresh water for irrigation, power generation and consumption, says study co-author Jean-Baptiste …

A majority of Swiss citizens on Sunday voted in favor of a bill aimed at introducing new climate measures to sharply curb the rich Alpine nation’s greenhouse gas emissions. Campaigners initially proposed even more ambitious measures but later backed a government plan that requires Switzerland to achieve “net zero” emissions by 2050.

Science for All | What is the Petermann Glacier?

The Hindu  

The Petermann Glacier connects the Greenland ice sheet to the Arctic Ocean and is named for German cartographer, August Heinrich Petermann. It consists of a 70km long and 15km wide ‘ice tongue’ whose thickness varies from 600 m to 60 m. Recent research discovered an unknown mechanism, in how the glacier’s ice interacted with the ocean and suggests that climate …

Researchers have uncovered a previously unseen way in which ice and an ocean interacts. According to glaciologists, this could mean that the climate community has been vastly underestimating the magnitude of future sea level rise caused by polar ice deterioration. Using satellite radar data from three European missions, the team learned that the Petermann Glacier’s grounding line — where ice …

Climate change may be having more impact on the melting Greenland ice sheet than previously thought, new research suggests. 'But ice cubes in a drink will also melt faster if you stir the drink, and rising air temperatures in Greenland effectively result in a stirring of the ocean close to the ice sheet, causing faster melting of the ice sheet …
