Greenland’s Melting Glaciers Expose 1,620 km of New Coastline Since 2000
- Tuesday April 1, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Over the past 20 years, Greenland’s glaciers have melted enough to expose 1,620 kilometres of new coastline, altering the Arctic’s geography. Satellite data from 2000 to 2020 tracked these changes, showing significant ice loss. The study also identified 35 newly exposed islands, some of which remain unclaimed on existing maps. Scientists warn o...

Antarctic Ice Melt Weakens Strongest Ocean Current, Disrupting Global Circulation
- Friday March 21, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the planet’s most powerful ocean circulation system, could slow by 20 percent by 2050 due to melting Antarctic ice. Researchers suggest that the influx of fresh, cold water is disrupting convection, altering global ocean density. A weaker current may allow warm water to reach Antarctica, accelerating ice loss an...

Greenland's Ice Sheet Approaches Dangerous Tipping Point Amid Rapid Melting
- Thursday February 27, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Greenland’s massive ice sheet is losing ice at an accelerating rate, with scientists warning that a global temperature rise of just 2°C could trigger irreversible collapse. The loss of 230 gigatons of ice per year is the estimated threshold for this tipping point. If melting continues at current rates, sea levels could rise by approximately 7 me...

Massive Ice Age Landforms Found Under North Sea Provide Key Insights into Ancient Glaciers
- Wednesday January 22, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Scientists have uncovered massive ice age landforms buried deep beneath the North Sea, revealing patterns of a colossal ice sheet that existed 1 million years ago. Using high-resolution sound wave imaging, researchers discovered features indicating a single, large ice sheet that shaped the region’s landscape. These findings provide new perspectiv...

Polar Bears in Alaska Face Rising Pathogen Threats Due to Climate Change
- Tuesday December 3, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Polar bears in the Chukchi Sea are increasingly exposed to pathogens like Toxoplasma gondii, brucellosis, and canine distemper due to warming climates. Researchers revealed a significant rise in pathogen antibodies in polar bears since the 1990s, linking this trend to reduced sea ice, altered diets, and human interaction. The findings raise concern...

Rare Sea Smoke and Streaming Snow Phenomena Captured Near Pine Island Glacier
- Friday November 1, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
In October 2024, Pine Island Glacier displayed unusual atmospheric phenomena, including rare sea smoke and blowing snow. Captured by NASA's Landsat 8, these events were visible due to clear skies. Strong winds pushed warmer water to the surface, creating sea smoke, while blowing snow from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet influenced the glacier’s land...
