As reported a group of Chinese scientists led by Yao Tandun from the Institute of Tibetan Studies, the area of the Tibetan glaciers shrinking faster, than previously thought. Chinese scientists obtained data contradict recently published data from another group of climate scientists, which reported no decrease in the size of glaciers on the basis of satellite images obtained by GRACE project in the study of the mountain system Korakorum. However, Chinese scientists argue, that the Tibetan glaciers are melting faster than expected, and the glaciers of the Pamir and Korakoruma really almost do not change in size because of the changed nature of wind power, and in this region of the Earth, since the formation of glaciers of the Pamir and Korakoruma depend primarily all of the westerly winds, that have consistently low temperature, and the Himalayan snow-fed, brought by the monsoons, so even a small increase in temperature leads to a decrease in the accumulation of ice in Tibet.

Biohazard 2012: Scientists from the UK will take samples of water from the subglacial Lake Ellsworth in Antarctica in December 2012- the video
Saturday, 08 September 2012 10:36

According to Professor Martin Sigert University of Edinburgh, UK, to the location of subglacial Lake Ellsworth in Antarctica has already delivered all the necessary drilling equipment and in December 2012 the British scientists receive the first sample of water from this subglacial lake, which is located under the ice of Antarctica, at a depth of 3.5 kilometers. Lake Ellsworth - is the lake, located under the ice of Antarctica, according to scientists, the lake had not communication with the outside world for at least 125,000 years, so it is not known- what microbes and viruses are found in this Lake. Dimensions of Lake Ellsworth is 14.7 km x 3.1 km, area - 28.9 square kilometers, Depth of the lake vary along the long axis of 52 m to 156 m, water volume is defined in 1.37 km.kub.The VIDEO: http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/1 ... worth.html

Russian and American scientists explore the dangerously high methane emissions in the Arctic
Sunday, 09 September 2012 21:33

http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/1 ... rctic.html

Today, on the phone from aboard the research vessel "Victor Buinitskii" special chief of the Russian-American Igor Semiletov expedition reported that the focus of Russian and American scientists will methane emissions Arctic seas, and particularly in the Laptev Sea, which were previously recorded large emissions of methane. To carry out these research, on the vessel "Victor Buinitskii" is located a modern geophysical complex, with which they can define amounts of methane released into the atmosphere. This expedition was a few days ago went out of the city of Murmansk, Russia to Northern Sea Route for re-measuring the amount of methane that is released from the Arctic seas, as previously the expedition showed unusually high levels of methane coming from the Arctic seas into the atmosphere. The scientists of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), in the persons of the Arctic Research Laboratory Pacific Oceanological Institute, Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Federation with Research Center in Fairbanks Alaska, USA, and the University of Georgia, USA. Previous expeditions have found, that methane appears in the destruction of underwater sites of permafrost due to climate change in the Arctic, which further strengthens the processes of global warming and lead to new emissions of methane, which can lead to disastrous consequences for the Earth's climate.

In the Arctic were discovered more than 200 new locations of massive emissions of methane
Tuesday, 18 September 2012 21:27

http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/1 ... thane.html

Igor Semiletov, chief of the joint expedition of the Arctic Research Laboratory of Pacific Oceanological Institute of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Research Center of Alaska-Fairbanks and the University of Georgia, said in a telephone for representatives of Russian news agency DV-ROSS, that scientists from this expedition found more than 200 new massive emissions of methane in the Arctic. Joint Laboratory of Arctic Expedition Studies of Pacific Oceanological Institute of Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Research Centre Alaska-Fairbanks and the University of Georgia in the U.S. is on board of the research vessel "Victor Buinitskii" and is already the seventh expedition. Previous expeditions have found, that methane appears in the destruction of underwater areas of permafrost in the Arctic due to climate change. These researchers found, that large methane emissions in Arctic may change the Earth's climate. On board of the research vessel "Victor Buinitskii" deployed the modern geophysical complex, with which scientists can accurately determine the amount of methane.

Changes in Earth's gravitational field have led to the melting of glaciers in Greenland-VIDEO

Tuesday, 20 November 2012 18:08


In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences magazine was published an article of a group of scientists from Princeton University, USA, that on the basis of satellite data of the gravitational field of the Earth was drawn up a model, which explains the uneven melting of glaciers in Greenland over the past ten years. In the model of scientists from Princeton University used a data from 2002 to 2011, which were received from the satellites, working according to the GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment). According to American scientists, the effect of irregular movement of the main places of melting of Greenland ice, from year to year is correlated with changes in Earth's gravity field, as calculated by the model size of the main areas of melting ice- coincided with the actual data of the fixed space. Huge glaciers cover about 80% of the territory of Greenland, if the entire Greenland ice will melt- it would raise a global sea levels by 6.4 meters, THE VIDEO: http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/2 ... nland.html

NASA scientists believe, that the melting glaciers of Antarctica will raise global sea levels by 4.5 meters- VIDEO PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 13 May 2014 11:00
NASA scientists believe, that the melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet is an irreversible process and may lead to an increase in global sea level by about 15 feet ( 4.5 meters ) in the next century. NASA research conducted over the past 40 years and is based on data obtained from aircraft, satellites and from the direct study of glaciers scientists. "In the system there are a sort of chain reaction that can not be stopped ," - said Rignot. However, scientists say that the melting process takes more than one century and "we have seen only its initial stage". In the Antarctic ice sheet contains about 61% of all fresh water reserves in the world , equivalent to 70 meters of sea level. In East Antarctica, the ice sheet constitute the foundation of continental rocks, the depth of which is insignificant, whereas in West Antarctica foundation plunges more than 2,500 meters below sea level and ice thickness at the rear borders can be up to 1 - 1.3 km, VIDEO:

Earth is losing sea ice at a rate of 25 square kilometers per year - VIDEO

The increase in the extent of sea ice in the Antarctic does not overlap accelerate the decline of the ice cover of the Arctic, NASA scientists have found. On average, since 1979, the planet is losing sea ice at a rate of 25 square kilometers per year.

Surrounding the Antarctic sea ice reached 19 September 2014 a new record coverage area - more than 20 million square feet. km. However, the positive dynamics of growth of the Antarctic ice can not neutralize the rapid loss of sea ice in the Arctic.
"Although the Antarctic ice and reached a new record high in September last year, the global volume of sea ice continues to shrink," - said Claire Parkinson, author of the study and climate scientist from the center of Space Flight. Goddard. Analysis of satellite data showed that the dynamics of the total area of sea ice was negative in all months of the past year, even when the distribution of Arctic and Antarctic ice peaked.

Moreover, the global decline in ice speed up in the first two decades of observations (1979-1996 years) ice shrinking at a rate of 21.4 thoUSAnd square kilometers per year. These rates have doubled in the 1996-2013 years, when the average volume of melting ice was 50.5 square kilometers per year.

Parkinson believes that the increase in Antarctic sea ice is unlikely to accelerate enough to ensure the increase in the area of ice in the world. Rather, says climatologist, the rate of increase of Antarctic ice to slow down, and the area of its distribution will decline.

Italian Alex Bellini during the year he will live on melting iceberg - VIDEO
36-year-old Italian Alex Bellini is going to commit extreme trip: for a year he will live on melting iceberg. The experimenter sets itself not only scientific goals.

Extreme Alex Bellini invented a new, causing tremors test: he is going to spend a year on an iceberg.

Bellini will live off the coast of Greenland created especially for him module. The project is called "drift." Settle on melting iceberg ekstremal plans in November 2016.

"I believe that the project" drift "- something more than just an adventure or traveling. On the one hand, on a plan this experiment puts scientific purposes. We want to remind everyone that the person must return to living in close contact with nature. On the other hand, I personally want to show people, what would you do, no matter what the adventure presented your life - it's a great opportunity to explore yourself, "- said ekstremal.

Life on an iceberg will not be for the first Bellini extreme experience.

Among his exploits: the race by nearly 23 thoUSAnd kilometers, swim in the boat rowing more than 35,000 kilometers and more than one and a half years spent in isolation.

However, such a rich life has a downside. Professional adventurer always accompany the loneliness and homesickness.
