Last-Ditch Resort: Move Polar Bears to Antarctica?
2008-07-18 08:29:00 From Wired Top Stories: If the most dire climate predictions come to pass, the Arctic ice cap will melt entirely, and polar bears could face extinction. So why not pack a few off to Antarctica, where the sea ice will never run out? It may seem like a preposterous question.

Giant marine life found in Antarctica
2008-03-28 06:48:00 Scientists who conducted the most comprehensive survey to date of New Zealand's Antarctic waters were surprised by the size of some specimens found, including jellyfish with 12-foot tentacles and 2-foot-wide starfish. A 2,000-mile journey through the Ross Sea that ended Thursday has also potentially turned up several new species, including as many as eight new mollusks.It's "exciting when you come across a new species," said Chris Jones, a fisheries scientist at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "All the fish people go nuts about that — but you have to take it with a grain of salt."The finds must still be reviewed by experts to determine if they are in fact new, said Stu Hanchet, a fisheries scientist at New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research.But beyond the discovery of new species, scientists said the survey, the most comprehensive to date in the Ross Sea, turned up other surprises.Hanchet singled out the discovery of "fields...

Huge Antarctic ice chunk collapses
2008-03-26 06:54:00 clipped from edition.cnn.com WASHINGTON (AP) -- A chunk of Antarctic ice about seven times the size of Manhattan suddenly collapsed, putting an even greater portion of glacial ice at risk, scientists said Tuesday. Satellite images show the runaway disintegration of a 160-square-mile chunk in western Antarctica, which started February 28. It was the edge of the Wilkins ice shelf and has been there for hundreds, maybe 1,500 years. This is the result of global warming, said British Antarctic Survey scientist David Vaughan.

Observing Sustainable Tourism In Antarctica
2008-02-28 10:46:00 “Antarctica is the ultimate destination for anyone interested in natural history but it also challenges those people who visit to think broadly about our responsibilities to all life on Earth।†That's the view of Dr Robert Lambert, a lecturer on Tourism and the Environment at The University of Nottingham, who has just returned from the Antarctic in his role as an Observer for the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO).Dr Lambert, who is a member of the Business School's Christel DeHaan Tourism and Travel Research Institute, says the relationship between nature and people is complex and constantly changing and great positives can come from tourism in Antarctica. He believes those lucky enough to experience it could become ambassadors for the region to help develop a 'constituency' of support for Antarctica.He said: “Few people get the opportunity to visit this extraordinary place, and those who experience it first hand return home with a powerful s...
Glass Tulips- Huge Worms Found in Antarctica -Photos
2008-02-23 16:21:00 Standing in fields like poppies these tunicates are actually animals. The tunicates, which resemble glass tulips, are early colonizers of Antarctic regions that have been disturbed by icebergs that scour the seafloor as they pass by. The animals are among many mysterious creatures collected from the icy waters by scientists of the Australian Antarctic Division.(Watch video of sea spiders found on the expedition, and read the full story.) The study is part of an international project to take a census of Antarctic marine life. The plankton-eating tunicates grow up to 3.2 feet (1 meter) long, and filter food by pumping it through an internal mesh structure. The stalk is supported by pressure created by their pump, according to the scientistsSea Spiders and Glass Tulips-latest footage from Antarctica

Antarctica on alert for alien invaders
2008-01-29 08:39:00 By Alister Doyle, Environment Correspondent TROLL STATION, Antarctica (Reuters) - Aliens are landing in Antarctica. Seeds, spores, mites, lichens and mosses alien to the continent have been brought unwittingly by scientists and tourists, and could disrupt life in the icy wilderness. Antarctica is best known for penguins as well as seals and whales, but scientists are finding a host of other tiny organisms from springtails -- closely related to insects -- to mosses. And they fear global warming may create conditions suitable for outside marauders such as rats or mice in Antarctica, where the biggest land creature is now a tiny flightless midge. Among plants a type of European grass -- agrostis stolonifera -- may be among threats if the icy climate thaws. "It's a species that gets everywhere, it's already on most of the Antarctic islands," said Dana Bergstrom of the Australian Antarctic Division, who leads an international research project entitled "Aliens...

The Weekly Carboholic
2008-01-16 14:30:00 This week we start off with some interesting news from the world’s largest auto maker, General Motors. According to the AFP via Raw Story, GM is partnering with renewable energy company Coskata to convert trash into ethanol. Supposedly, the energy return is 7.7x more energy out than is used in creating the fuel, and the inputs are pretty much anything that has carbon in it - trees, grass, oil, even plastic bags and trash. In the case of trash, tree bits, and even biological wastes, I can buy that this might be true. And given that Coskata’s process might be able to help us address another persistent environmental problem, namely trash disposal, further research and development is certainly warranted. However, it’s unclear from Coskata’s website and description of their process how it can do that. Last week’s Carboholic showed that switchgrass, when grown on actual farms, had only a 5.4x energy output just from the farm yields (never mind the losse...
Increasing Amounts Of Ice Mass Have Been Lost From West Antarctica
2008-01-15 08:31:00 Increasing amounts of ice mass have been lost from West Antarctica and the Antarctic peninsula over the past ten years, according to research from the University of Bristol and published online recently in Nature Geoscience।Meanwhile the ice mass in East Antarctica has been roughly stable, with neither loss nor accumulation over the past decade.Professor Jonathan Bamber at the University of Bristol and colleagues estimated the flux of ice from the ice sheet into the ocean from satellite data that cover 85% of Antarctica's coastline, which they compared with simulations of snow accumulation over the same period, obtained using a regional climate model.They arrived at a best estimate of a loss of 132 billion tonnes of ice in 2006 from West Antarctica -- up from about 83 billion tonnes in 1996 -- and a loss of about 60 billion tonnes in 2006 from the Antarctic Peninsula.Professor Bamber said: "To put these figures into perspective, four billion tons of ice is enough to provide drink...
Blue Monday
2008-01-14 22:17:00 Today I heard a lady at work say that her daughter who is working abroad at a ski resort will fly home for a dentist appointment and then fly back again shortly after. The marvels of cheap flights! Another one told me that she prefer spending her money on flights abroad to enjoy fascinating places and cultures rather than spending it on expensive things. Pest or cholera, why choose either one when you don't have to? A third one talked about her troubles in persuading her teen-age son to agree to go on their upcoming trip to South Asia. And no, the boy didn't object because of environmental concerns.All this aviation related talk I had to withstand in a day that started off with news about escalating ice loss in Antarctica. The news really made this Monday an exceptionally blue one for me. clipped from www.upi.comVast ice sheets in Antarctica appear to be destabilizing due to climate change and the rate of ice loss has accelerated in the past 10 years, researchers said.clipped ...

Antarctica Time lapse: A Year on Ice
2007-12-28 09:38:00 Time-lapse video filmed in Antarctica, in and around McMurdo Station and Scott Base.Each year the sun is below the horizon for 4 months in the middle of winter, and above the horizon for 4 months in summer. During the couple of months in between we have more-or-less normal days.Includes shots of auroras and the very rare polar stratospheric nacreous clouds, which form when ozone depleting gases crystallize in the upper atmosphere in the intense cold.Summer population is about 1200 people, winter about 200.This is just a small sample of an ongoing project to collect time-lapse imagery of Antarctica. I have taken over 1,000,000 individual photos and worn out a number of cameras that make up the collection of footage I have gathered so far over the last 5 years.

2007-12-18 19:57:00 Jan Vermeer, a passionate Dutch Wildlife photographer, has made a special journey lately with the aim of capturing the emperor penguin in its natural habitat using the Nikon D300. We have obtained the exclusive rights for our German edition and we gladly refer you to the Nikon D300 test in practice made by Jan Vermeer. The Nikon D300 has recently become available and is receiving a lot of attention since then. And for a good reason listening to Jan's comments on the D300! Jan Vermeer has been shooting with the Nikon D2x for a while now but has to admit that the D300 has a lot to offer and that it turns out to be an ideal second body for the photographer he is for future projects. The Nikon D300 has been available since last November.Mark Petersmore : letsgodigital
