- Hundreds of Antarctic Peninsula glaciers accelerating as climate warms
06-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
Hundreds of glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsula are flowing faster, further adding to sea level rise according to new research published this week in the Journal of Geophysical Research. Climate warming that is already causing Antarctic Peninsula increased summer snow melt and ice shelf retreat is the most likely cause.

11-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
An international team of researchers, led by the University of Sheffield, has demonstrated how Atlantic cod responded to past natural climate extremes. The new research could help in determining cods vulnerability to future global warming.

- Current melting of Greenland's ice mimicks 1920s-1940s event
12-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
Two researchers here spent months scouring through old expedition logs and reports, and reviewing 70-year-old maps and photos before making a surprising discovery: They found that the effects of the current warming and melting of Greenland 's glaciers that has alarmed the world's climate scientists occurred in the decades following an abrupt warming in the 1920s.

- Climate swings have brought great CO2 pulses up from the deep sea
05-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
A study released provides some of the first solid evidence that warming-induced changes in ocean circulation at the end of the last Ice Age caused vast quantities of ancient carbon dioxide to belch from the deep sea into the atmosphere.

Signs of a warming climate are already being felt in the icy reaches of the Arctic. The consequences of diminishing sea-ice are far-reaching - affecting the peoples and wildlife reliant on this fragile ecosystem, global climate and even international shipping routes. EuroNews looks at how ESA satellites are an invaluable aid to monitoring this changing environment.

- First direct evidence that human activity is linked to Antarctic Ice Shelf collapse
10-16-2006 · EurekAlert!
The first direct evidence linking human activity to the collapse of Antarctic ice shelves is published this week in the Journal of Climate. Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey, the Center for Polar Observation and Modeling, University College London and the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, reveal that stronger westerly winds in the northern Antarctic Peninsula, driven principally by human-induced climate change, are responsible for the marked regional summer warming that led to the retreat and collapse of the northern Larsen Ice Shelf.

- The woes of Kilimanjaro: Don't blame global warming
06-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
Two scientists writing in a new magazine article say that global warming has nothing to do with the decline of ice atop Mount Kilimanjaro, and using the mountain in northern Tanzania as a "poster child" for climate change is simply inaccurate.

02-11-2008 · EurekAlert!
A comprehensive new study authored by University at Buffalo scientists and their colleagues for the first time documents in detail the dynamics of parts of Greenland's ice sheet, important data that have long been missing from the ice sheet models on which projections about sea level rise and global warming are based.
