Read article: Solar radio waves could help monitor glacier thickness Cryosphere Research update Solar radio waves could help monitor glacier thickness Passive radar system offers energy and cost savings over existing methods
Read article: Iceberg melting is driven by geometry, experiments reveal Cryosphere Research update Iceberg melting is driven by geometry, experiments reveal Updated model of how icebergs melt could inform climate change predictions
Read article: Unprecedented ice loss is predicted for Greenland Ice Sheet Cryosphere Research update Unprecedented ice loss is predicted for Greenland Ice Sheet Future melting will exceed rates seen in the past 12,000 years, says simulation
Read article: Greenland’s ecosystems change abruptly with climate Climate Research update Greenland’s ecosystems change abruptly with climate Lack of timelag may undermine climate adaptation strategies
Read article: Artificial snow could save world’s coasts Cryosphere Research update Artificial snow could save world’s coasts In theory, artificial snow could save the ice caps and limit sea level rise. But rescuing civilization this way would sacrifice Antarctica
Read article: When is Arctic ice like a magnet? Cryosphere Research update When is Arctic ice like a magnet? Ising model of ferromagnet phase transitions also works for melt pond patterns on sea-ice
Read article: Ice-free Greenland possible in 1000 years Climate Research update Ice-free Greenland possible in 1000 years Look far enough ahead and in a millennium an ice-free Greenland is a possibility, scientists say. Sea levels too will be a lot higher by then
Read article: Arctic sea ice loss affects the jet stream Climate Research update Arctic sea ice loss affects the jet stream The jet stream affects northern hemisphere climates. And global warming affects the behaviour of the jet stream. Prepare for yet more extremes of seasonal weather
Read article: Sea level rise may double forecast for 2100 Cryosphere Research update Sea level rise may double forecast for 2100 Scientists say global sea level rise could far exceed predictions because of faster melting in Greenland and Antarctica
