All Arctic ice could melt by 2027, warn scientists

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 …

As the ice caps melt, Antarctica is greening, alarming climate experts

Salon

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 …

In late June, as a group of mountaineers descended a treacherous glacier high in the Peruvian Andes, they spotted a dark, out-of-place lump resting on the blinding white snow. The warming planet is “definitely the reason we found Bill,” said Ryan Cooper, a personal trainer from Las Vegas who was among the group of climbers who discovered Stampfl’s body in …

Melting of Alaska’s Juneau icefield accelerates, losing snow nearly 5 times faster than in the 1980s

Associated Press

The melting of Alaska’s Juneau icefield, home to more than 1,000 glaciers, is accelerating. The shape of Juneau’s icefield, which is rather flat, “makes it vulnerable to particular tipping points” because once the snow line moves up, large areas are suddenly more prone to melt, Davies said. “The tipping point is when that snow line goes above your entire icefield, …

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. …

Scientists track 'alarming' melt in Antarctic ice shelves

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 …

As thaw accelerates, Swiss glaciers have lost 10% of their volume in the past 2 years, experts say

Associated Press

GENEVA — A Swiss Academy of Sciences panel is reporting a dramatic acceleration of glacier melt in the Alpine country, which has lost 10% of its ice volume in just two years after high summer heat and low snow volumes in winter. Switzerland — home to the most glaciers of any country in Europe — has seen 4% of its …

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 …

Emperor penguin chicks emerge from their eggs in the coldest days of Antarctica’s winter.

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 …

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 …

Has the future sea level rise been correctly estimated?

The Hindu

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 …

'Bad news': Unexpected melting of Greenland glacier could double sea-level rise projections

Raw Story

A glacier in the north of Greenland is melting faster and in a different way than scientists previously thought, and this has troubling implications for the future speed of global sea-level rise. The Petermann Glacier is a massive glacier in Northwest Greenland that contains enough ice to raise sea levels by a little more than a foot, the study authors …
