Antarctic Ice Melting 3X Faster Than Ten Years Ago Image: Huffington Post The ice sheets of Antarctica are home to 60-90% of the world’s freshwater. According to a new study published in the journal Nature, the Antarctic ice sheets are shrinking faster than ever before. In fact, the study states that sea ice loss is occurring at triple the rate from 2007. The continent lost 3 million tons of […] Featured Article Jenah MacGrain | June 15, 2018 2 Comments
“Greenland Is Melting Away” | by The New York Times We stumbled upon this great interactive piece by the New York Times yesterday and were very impressed. The multimedia article delves deep into the melting of the Greenland icecap and what scientists are discovering there while using new research techniques. The piece is visually stunning, inciteful, and impactful. “No one has ever collected a data set like this,” Asa Rennermalm, […] Brains SnowBrains | October 29, 2015 0 Comments
NASA: Pollution, Not Rising Temperatures, May Have Melted Alpine Glaciers NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory recently finished a study that shows that Europe’s glaciers may have begun their rapid melting in the 1860s due to soot from the industrial revolution. It’s thought by NASA that this soot absorbed sunlight and greatly accelerated the melting of Europe’s glacier system. “If you look back through the 1600s and 1700s, the glaciers were big […] Brains SnowBrains | September 4, 2013 2 Comments
