Project Greenland starts exporting super premium water for water-stressed regions
Thomas Schumann Capital offers solution for Global Water Security & Equity.
Are we missing a crucial component of sea-level rise?
Recent efforts using computational modeling to understand how melting ice in Antarctica will impact the planet's oceans have focused on ice-sheet geometry, fracture, and surface melting—processes that could potentially trigger or accelerate ice-sheet mass loss.
Risk of multiple climate tipping points escalates above 1.5°C global warming
Multiple climate tipping points could be triggered if global temperature rises beyond 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, according to a major new analysis published in the journal Science.
Arctic lakes are vanishing a century earlier than predicted
Arctic lakes are drying out nearly a century earlier than projected, depriving the region of a critical source of fresh water, according to new research.
Arctic lakes are vanishing in surprise climate finding
The Arctic is no stranger to loss.
Organic matter accumulation in oxygenated lakes
When we burn fossil fuels, it not only produces carbon dioxide, a driver of climate change, but it also consumes the oxygen we breathe.
Coastal glacier retreat linked to climate change
More of the world's coastal glaciers are melting faster than ever, but exactly what's triggering the large-scale retreat has been difficult to pin down because of natural fluctuations in the glaciers' surroundings.
Researchers use lasers to get a new view on Oregon’s glaciers
The latest technology to study glaciers fits in a backpack and can be carried up steep mountains.
Arctic temperatures are increasing four times faster than global warming
A new analysis of observed temperatures shows the Arctic is heating up more than four times faster than the rate of global warming.
Historic Greenland ice sheet rainfall unraveled
For the first time ever recorded, in the late summer of 2021, rain fell on the high central region of the Greenland ice sheet.
UN and partners detail the abundance and promise of diverse “unconventional” water resources
UN and partner water experts say it’s time to increase the tapping of Earth’s diverse and abundant unconventional water resources – the millions of cubic kilometres of water in deep land-based and seabed aquifers, in fog and icebergs, in the ballast holds of thousands of ships, and elsewhere.
Four key climate change indicators break records in 2021
Four key climate change indicators – greenhouse gas concentrations, sea level rise, ocean heat and ocean acidification – set new records in 2021.
Model pinpoints glaciers at risk of collapse due to climate change
As climate change warms the planet, glaciers are melting faster, and scientists fear that many will collapse by the end of the century, drastically raising sea level and inundating coastal cities and island nations.
Accelerating melt rate makes Greenland Ice Sheet world’s largest ‘dam’
Researchers have observed extremely high rates of melting at the bottom of the Greenland Ice Sheet, caused by huge quantities of meltwater falling from the surface to the base.
New radar technology records Antarctic glaciers losing ice faster than ever documented before
In a new University of Houston study using an advanced remote imaging system known as synthetic aperture radar interferometry, three glaciers at the South Pole are being documented with levels of clarity and completeness never seen before.
Only 15 per cent of global coastal regions remain intact
New research has revealed that only 15 per cent of coastal areas around the world remain intact, exposing the need for urgent coastal rehabilitation and conservation on a global scale.
Study looks at glacial lakes, dams in Alaska and potential for flooding
Brianna Rick, a doctoral student in the Department of Geosciences at Colorado State University, has been conducting research in Alaska for several years.
Polar ice contaminated with nanoplastics
Discovery raises concerns about the extent of plastic pollution in remote areas
Research provides insight into world’s largest piedmont glacier
Understanding the surges and retreats of Alaska’s Malaspina Glacier is key if climate change models are to be applied to the glacier with confidence.
WMO recognizes new Arctic temperature record of 38⁰C
A temperature of 38°C (100.4°F) in the Russian town of Verkhoyansk on 20 June 2020 has been recognized as a new Arctic temperature record by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
