Robert Bindschadler's Antarctic Blog
12.13.07 -- NASA's Robert Bindschadler wrote a blog during his latest trip to Antarctica on a quest to carry out experiments at Pine Island Glacier. The blog details his journey to learn more about why the glacier's ice shelf is experiencing accelerated thinning of its ice, causing an impact on sea level.
Crack in the Petermann Glacier
09.12.08 -- Researchers at the Byrd Polar Research Center at Ohio State University have expressed concern at the presence of a rift in Greenland's Petermann Glacier.
Retreat of Serson Ice Shelf
09.11.08 -- As recently as the early 1900s, the northern coast of Canada's Ellesmere Island was fringed by a continuous expanse of ice. By July 2008, warming Arctic climate had reduced the continuous ice to five isolated shelves. In July and Aguust three of the shelves experienced further significant retreat.

Background

NASA Views Landing Site Through Eyes of Future Moon Crew
02.27.08 -- NASA has obtained the highest resolution terrain mapping to date of the moon's rugged south polar region, with a resolution to about 656 feet (20 meters) per pixel.
NASA Satellite Reveals Unprecedented View of Mysterious 'Night-Shining' Clouds
12.10.07 -- NASA's Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere satellite has provided the first global-scale, full-season view of iridescent polar clouds that form 50 miles above Earth's surface.
NASA Sees Arctic Ocean Circulation About-Face
11.13.07 -- A team of NASA and university scientists has detected an ongoing reversal in Arctic Ocean circulation triggered by atmospheric circulation changes that vary on decade-long time scales. The results suggest not all the large changes seen in Arctic climate in recent years are a result of long-term trends associated with global warming.
