In Two New Studies, Scientists See Signs of Fundamental Climate Shifts in Antarctica
A steep decline of Antarctic sea ice may mark a long-term transformation in the Southern Ocean, and seawater intrusions beneath the Thwaites Glacier could explain its melting outpacing projections. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/20052024/antarctica-fundamental-climate-shifts-studies/ #Antarctic #Cryosphere #SeaIce #Glaciers #SeaLevelRise

"The country has witnessed days of #ExtremeWeather, killing scores of people and destroying property and farmland. Experts say #Pakistan is experiencing heavier #rains than normal in April because of #ClimateChange.

In the mountainous northwest province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which has been hit particularly hard by the deluges, authorities issued a flood alert because of the melting of #glaciers in several districts."

Measurements from land-based instruments and airplane-mounted radars in Greenland’s far northeast reveal the extent of ice loss experienced by the 79° N-Glacier. The Alfred Wegener Institute’s findings indicate that the glacier’s thickness has reduced by over 160 meters since 1998...

Thousands in #Ladakh protest demanding climate action and land rights in freezing conditions

"Nestled between India, Pakistan and China, Ladakh has faced territorial disputes and suffered the effects of climate change.

Ladakh’s thousands of #glaciers — which helped dub the rugged region one of the "water towers of the world" — are receding at an alarming rate, threatening the #water supply of millions of people."

NBC News: The more scientists study Greenland, the worse its ice melt looks. A new study found that the loss of ice has been understimated, adding to a recent string of research that have drawn attention to rapid change in Greenland. #climate #glaciers #greenland #ImMeltingMyWorldMyWorld https://www.nbcnews.com/science/environment/scientists-study-greenland-worse-ice-melt-looks-rcna134261
