Neal Iverson opened his laboratory's walk-in freezer and said the one-of-a-kind machine inside could help scientists understand how glaciers slide across their beds. And that could help researchers predict how glaciers will react to climate change and contribute to rising sea levels. http://www.physorg.com/news177084249.html Space & Earth Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:30:01 EST news177084249 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. http://www.physorg.com/news175172992.html Space & Earth Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:10:33 EST news175172992 (PhysOrg.com) -- Modern glaciers, such as those making up the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, are capable of undergoing periods of rapid shrinkage or retreat, according to new findings by paleoclimatologists at the University at Buffalo. http://www.physorg.com/news164810243.html Space & Earth Sun, 21 Jun 2009 13:38:28 EST news164810243 Research led by the University of Leicester suggests people today and in future generations should look to the past in order to mitigate the worst effects of climate change. http://www.physorg.com/news162642570.html Space & Earth Wed, 27 May 2009 11:30:35 EST news162642570 (AP) -- The last time Congress passed major environmental laws, acid rain was destroying lakes and forests, polluted rivers were on fire and smog was choking people in some cities. http://www.physorg.com/news159344981.html Space & Earth Sun, 19 Apr 2009 07:30:03 EST news159344981 (PhysOrg.com) -- Experts at The University of Manchester are to produce a detailed picture of the public`s views on the uncertain future of a 250-mile-stretch of coastline. http://www.physorg.com/news151938896.html Space & Earth Fri, 23 Jan 2009 13:15:43 EST news151938896 Meltwater is rapidly increasing the tempo of glacial movements on the rim of the Greenland ice sheet. Over the long term, however, this process is interrupted as meltwater drains away via broad channels, as a result of which ice movement decreases once again. Ultimately, this is not a cause of accelerated sea level rise. http://www.physorg.com/news134724580.html Space & Earth Tue, 08 Jul 2008 08:29:40 EST news134724580
