RSS Waters from warmer latitudes — or subtropical waters — are reaching Greenland’s glaciers, driving melting and likely triggering an acceleration of ice loss, reports a team of researchers led by Fiamma Straneo, a physical oceanographer from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI).
“This is the first time we’ve seen waters this warm in any of the [...]

The Abstract states:
Meteorological station records and regional climate model output are combined to develop a continuous 168-yr [...]
The 15th century Vinland Map, the first known map to show part of America before explorer Christopher Columbus landed on the continent, is almost certainly genuine, a Danish expert said Friday.
Controversy has swirled around the map since it came to light in the 1950s, many scholars suspecting it was a hoax meant to prove that [...]
AAAS Meeting: Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet melting, rate unknown
The Greenland and Antarctica ice sheets are melting, but the amounts that will melt and the time it will take are still unknown, according to Richard Alley, Evan Pugh professor of geosciences, Penn State.
In the past, the Greenland ice sheet has grown when its surroundings cooled, [...]
Richard Kerr of Science magazine reports on a presentation at the recent fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union in a News Focus article entitled: ‘Galloping Glaciers of Greenland Have Reined Themselves In’
Ice loss in Greenland has had some climatologists speculating that global warming might have brought on a scary new regime of wildly heightened [...]
A new paper has been published in Nature Geoscience by Faezeh M. Nick, Andreas Vieli, Ian M. Howat & Ian Joughin entitled, ‘Large-scale changes in Greenland outlet glacier dynamics triggered at the terminus.’
The Abstract states:
The recent marked retreat, thinning and acceleration of most of Greenland’s outlet glaciers south of 70° N has increased concerns over [...]
NASA already has James Hansen and Gavin Schmidt, but still no sign of the 90 rubber ducks that were sent down a drainage hole in the Greenland ice in September.
According to the BBC News website, the ducks are an experiment to see how melt waters find their way to the base of the ice sheet.
It [...]
