The combination of global atmospheric warming and westerly winds shifting toward the poles will likely speed up the recession of mountain glaciers in both hemispheres, according to a UMaine study.
The combination of global atmospheric warming and westerly winds shifting toward the poles will likely speed up the recession of mountain glaciers in both hemispheres, according to a UMaine study. Mountain glaciers freeze and gain mass when the climate cools, and melt and lose mass when the climate warms. The extent to which the fluctuations […]
Earlier this month, we wrapped up the latest annual end-of-summer snowline survey over New Zealand's South Island (Te Waipounamu), providing a birdseye view of how glaciers fared during the past year.
The role Britain’s anti-slavery mission played in looting African art. And the campaign to get it returned.
The 'Zealandia Switch': Missing Link in Big Natural Climate Shifts? The Southern Hemisphere may be the missing link in answering longstanding questions about how ice ages wax and wane, according to a new study. There, say researchers, complex interactions among the westerly wind system, the Southern Ocean and the tropical Pacific can trigger rapid global changes in atmospheric temperature. The mechanism, dubbed the Zealandia Switch, relates to the position of the Southern Hemisphere westerly wind belt—the strongest wind system on Earth—and the continental masses of the southwest Pacific O...
