Climate change – how does it impact the Oceans and the polar regions ? A gist of a global study and a big-picture take on the latest assessment.
Sea Ice from Space: Crossing Boundaries of Sea Ice Science
Polar science can be challenging, but satellites give scientists access to otherwise inaccessible regions.
On Capt. Javier Valladares, his Vast Experience as a Sailor and his Understanding of the Sea

New Study Finds Unprecedented Polar Ice Sheet Loss
The European Space Agency’s CryoSat-2 was launched in June 2010. Now, data from the satellite is allowing researchers to produce maps of the planet’s most important ice fields, with unparalleled coverage and accuracy.
Measuring the Irreversible Retreat of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet
The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is in a state of irretrievable decline, warns a study released by NASA and the University of California, Irvine. The results have consequences for the glacial structure of the Antarctic and the height of future sea level rise. In an interview with Earthzine, Dr. Prasad Gogineni describes the technologies used to measure these dramatic changes.
West Antarctic Glacier Collapse ‘Unstoppable’
Originally Published by ENS – IRVINE, California, May 13, 2014 (ENS) – A rapidly melting section of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet appears to be in irreversible decline, with nothing to stop the entire glacial basin from disappearing into the sea, according to researchers at NASA and the University of California, Irvine.
