WCR: Recent News from Antarctica

“It seems like we’ve asked this question a million times before and will probably ask it again a million more times. Had these scientists from these three articles found accelerated melting (or any melting), how many headlines would have covered their stories across the globe? They find a gain of ice mass in the Horseshoe [...]

Natural Variability May Drive Pine Island Glacier Melt

British and international boffins, having probed an Antarctic glacier which is thought to be a major cause of rising sea levels worldwide, report that increased polar ice melting may not be driven by climate change. The Register: Antarctic glacier melt maybe ‘not due to climate change’ Observations beneath Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica and [...]

Hydrothermal Vents Discovered Off Antartica

ScienceDaily (Mar. 4, 2010) — Scientists at Columbia’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory have found evidence of hydrothermal vents on the seafloor near Antarctica, formerly a blank spot on the map for researchers wanting to learn more about seafloor formation and the bizarre life forms drawn to these extreme environments. Hydrothermal vents spew volcanically heated seawater from [...]

IPCC Underestimated Antarctic Sea Ice Increase by 50%

So, the peer reviewed literature, both extant at the time of the AR4 as well as published since the release of the AR4, shows that there has been a significant increase in the extent of sea ice around Antarctica since the time of the first satellite observations observed in the late 1970s. And yet the [...]

Antarctic Ice Shelf Collapse Possibly Triggered by Ocean Waves, Scripps-led Study Finds

Depicting a cause-and-effect scenario that spans thousands of miles, a scientist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and his collaborators discovered that ocean waves originating along the Pacific coasts of North and South America impact Antarctic ice shelves and could play a role in their catastrophic collapse. Peter Bromirski of Scripps Oceanography [...]

Antarctic Sea Water Shows ‘No Sign’ of Warming

SEA water under an East Antarctic ice shelf showed no sign of higher temperatures despite fears of a thaw linked to global warming that could bring higher world ocean levels, first tests showed yesterday. Sensors lowered through three holes drilled in the Fimbul Ice Shelf showed the sea water is still around freezing and not [...]

West Antarctic Ice Sheet May Not Be Losing Ice As Fast As Once Thought

AUSTIN, Texas — New ground measurements made by the West Antarctic GPS Network (WAGN) project, composed of researchers from The University of Texas at Austin, The Ohio State University, and The University of Memphis, suggest the rate of ice loss of the West Antarctic ice sheet has been slightly overestimated. “Our work suggests that while [...]

Not News? Antarctic Ice Melt Lowest in Satellite History

The ice melt during the Antarctic summer (October-January) of 2008-2009 was the lowest ever recorded in the satellite history: The above figure was adapted by World Climate Report from Tedesco M., and A. J. Monaghan, 2009. An updated Antarctic melt record through 2009 and its linkages to high-latitude and tropical climate variability. Geophysical Research Letters, 36, [...]

Ice Shelves Stable Over Six Years

ANTARCTIC ice shelves are showing no sign of climate change, six years of unique research have shown. Scientists from Western Australia’s Curtin University of Technology are using acoustic sensors developed to support the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty to listen for the sound of icebergs breaking away from the giant ice sheets of the south [...]
