David Ullman, a postdoctoral researcher at Oregon State University and lead author on the
study, said there are two mechanisms through which ice
sheets diminish — dynamically, from the jettisoning of icebergs at the fringes, or
by a negative «surface mass balance,» which compares the amount of snow accumulation relative to melting.
A new
study led
by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics has found that wind over the ocean off the coast of East Antarctica causes warm, deep waters to upwell, circulate under Totten Ice Shelf, and melt the fringes of the East Antarctic ice
sheet from below.
By combining satellite images of the ice
sheet and wind stress data from observations and computer modeling, Greene and his collaborators were able to
study the chain of events that brings the warm water to Totten.
The sediment cores used in this
study cover a period when the planet went through many climate cycles driven

A new
study by scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, and the University of California, Irvine, shows that while ice
sheets and glaciers continue to melt, changes in weather and climate over the past decade have caused Earth's continents to soak up and store an extra 3.2 trillion tons of water in soils, lakes and underground aquifers, temporarily slowing the rate of sea level rise
by about 20 percent.

A 2008
study led
by James Hansen found that climate sensitivity to «fast feedback processes» is 3 °C, but when accounting for longer - term feedbacks (such as ice
