Global warming, Antarctic ice is focus of multinational workshop

As the national repository for geological material from the Southern Ocean, the Antarctic Marine Geology Research Facility at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Fla., houses the premier collection of Antarctic sediment cores -- and a hot new acquisition will offer an international team of scientists meeting there May 1-4 its best look yet at the impact of global warming on oceans worldwide.

4. Antarctic ice sheet's hidden lakes speed ice flow into ocean, may disrupt climate
   03-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
   In a new study, researchers have unearthed how water from a vast subglacial system contributes to the formation of ice streams, and how it plays a crucial role in transporting ice from the remote interior of Antarctica toward the surrounding ocean. Water flowing from this network of under-ice lakes, they say, ultimately affects climate and global sea level.

5. Permanent ice fields are resisting global warming
   05-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
   The small ice caps of Mont Blanc and the Dôme du Goûter are not melting, or at least, not yet. This is what CNRS researchers1 have announced in the Journal of Geophysical Research. At very high altitudes -- above 4200 meters -- the accumulation of snow and ice has varied very little since the beginning of the 20th century. But if summer temperatures increase by a few degrees during the 21st century, the melt could become more marked, and could affect the "permanent" ice fields.

   Tiny lab versions of 12-foot tall snow spikes that form naturally on some high mountain glaciers may someday help scientists mitigate the effects of global warming in the Andes, according to a University of Colorado at Boulder professor.

   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.

8. 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.

10. 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.
