NASA finds Greenland snow melting hit record high in high places
A new NASA-supported study reports that 2007 marked an overall rise in the melting trend over the entire Greenland ice sheet and, remarkably, melting in high-altitude areas was greater than ever at 150 percent more than average. In fact, the amount of snow that has melted this year over Greenland could cover the surface size of the U.S. more than... view more... (2007-09-26)
NASA researcher finds days of snow melting on the rise in Greenland
In 2006, Greenland experienced more days of melting snow and at higher altitudes than average over the past 18 years, according to a new NASA-funded project using satellite observations. view more (2007-05-30)
NASA researchers find snowmelt in Antarctica creeping inland
On the world's coldest continent of Antarctica, the landscape is so vast and varied that only satellites can fully capture the extent of changes in the snow melting across its valleys, mountains, glaciers and ice shelves. view more (2007-09-21)
Snowmelt monitored in the Baltic Sea watershed region in near real time
As spring melt of winter snow is underway in the Baltic Sea watershed region, satellites are monitoring and mapping the snow melting process to help local authorities manage water supplies and predict and prepare for floods. view more (2007-04-06)
HUMIDITY INDUCES MELTING IN TROPICAL-ZONE GLACIERS
On Zongo glacier in Bolivia, situated at between 6000 and 4900 m elevation on the Huayna Potosi massif, 30 km from La Paz, scientists have observed that the runoff stream, induced by ice melting, showed a discharge rate two or three times lower during the dry season (May to August at this latitude) than that in the wet season (November to... view more...

Radar opens new window into the ice for Antarctic scientists
Scientists are getting their first glimpse into the inner secrets of an ice shelf, thanks to the innovative application of a new radar technique developed by British Antarctic Survey (BAS). view more (2006-10-17)
Permanent ice fields are resisting global warming
The small ice caps of Mont Blanc and the Dôme du Goûter are not melting, or at least, not yet. This is what CNRS researchers1 have announced in the Journal of Geophysical Research. view more (2007-05-17)
New photographs reveal secrets of rare Himalayan snow leopard
Rare images of the Himalayan snow leopard in its natural habitat are expected to help improve the survival chances of the world's elusive and little-known fifth-largest big cat. A research expedition backed by the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) used remote camera technology to record some of the first-ever photos of this endangered animal's... view more...

Greenland's thinning ice sheet could be saved by snow
A study conducted by an expert at the University of Sheffield and officials at NASA has found that while Greenland's ice is certainly thinning, snowfall in some areas is increasing, with levels in south-east Greenland in the past year being three times higher than is usual. This opens debate as to how global warming will affect Greenland's ice... view more... (2004-12-20)
Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet melting, rate unknown
The Greenland and Antarctica ice sheets are melting, but the amounts that will melt and the time it will take are still unknown, according to Richard Alley, Evan Pugh professor of geosciences, Penn State. view more (2009-02-17)
Iron 'snow' helps maintain Mercury's magnetic field, scientists say
New scientific evidence suggests that deep inside the planet Mercury, iron "snow" forms and falls toward the center of the planet, much like snowflakes form in Earth's atmosphere and fall to the ground. view more (2008-05-08)
Bacteria discovery aids food production, water purification
The search for a type of bacteria that creates better ice cream and artificial snow has suddenly become a lot easier, thanks to a discovery by Queen's University biologist Virginia Walker. view more (2006-10-02)
Press invitation - Swiss White In London - Technology Guarantees Switzerland Snow In London
PRESS CONFERENCE - 10.00 at The Swiss Embassy, 21 Bryanston Square, London W1 on 6 March For the first time ever a London Embassy will be transformed into a frost-covered snow-house on 6 - 7 March. Inspired by the United Nations International Year of Mountains 2002, the Swiss Embassy, Bryanston Square, London will be covered in ice and snow in a... view more... (2002-03-05)
Miniature lab ice spikes may hold clues to warming impacts on glaciers
Tiny lab versions of 12-foot tall snow spikes that form naturally on some high mountain glaciers may someday help scientists mitigate the effects of global warming in the Andes, according to a University of Colorado at Boulder professor. view more (2007-03-06)
Dirty snow may warm Arctic as much as greenhouse gases
The global warming debate has focused on carbon dioxide emissions, but scientists at UC Irvine have determined that a lesser-known mechanism - dirty snow - can explain one-third or more of the Arctic warming primarily attributed to greenhouse gases. view more (2007-06-07)
Warmer air may cause increased Antarctic sea ice cover
Predicted increases in precipitation due to warmer air temperatures from greenhouse gas emissions may actually increase sea ice volume in the Antarctic's Southern Ocean. view more (2005-06-30)
Lands surface change on Alaska tundra creating longer, warmer summers in Arctic
A gradual lengthening of the snow-free season in Alaska's tundra, and a corresponding northward progression of the growth of shrubs and trees, may be creating a cycle of warmer and longer summers in the Alaskan Arctic. view more (2005-09-23)
***Changed embargo time***Rising sea levels could be 'cancelled out' by increased snowfall
A paper published today in Science shows that the largest ice sheet in the world, the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, is growing due to increased snow fall. This growth partly mitigates the sea level rise caused by melting glaciers in other areas, especially Greenland. view more (2005-05-17)
What is really happening to the Greenland icecap?
The Greenland ice cap has been a focal point of recent climate change research because it is much more exposed to immediate global warming than the larger Antarctic ice sheet. view more (2008-11-03)
Snow made from potatoes
Films set in snow-laden winter landscapes cannot always be produced in the dead of winter. Until now, expensive artificial snow had to be imported from Hollywood to obtain the desired effects. In addition, it is always a laborious task to remove the splendid white chips made from polyethylene film after the shooting is over - almost unavoidable... view more... (2002-12-20)
