Greenland Melt May Swamp LA, Other Cities, Study Says Stefan Lovgren for National Geographic News April 8, 2004 Greenland's massive ice sheet could begin to melt this century and may disappear completely within the next thousand years if global warming continues at its present rate. According to a new climate change study, the melting of Greenland's ice sheet would raise the oceans by seven meters (23 feet), threatening to submerge cities located at sea level, from London to Los Angeles. Even a partial melting of the ice sheet could have catastrophic consequences for low-lying countries like Bangladesh and the Maldives. Read the full If global warming continues at its current rate, Greenland's ice sheet could begin to melt this century, raising sea levels and threatening some coastal cities, according to a new study.

In this issue Editor's Reverb- On the Online exclusives Special Shapes of Underwater quest After a decade of searching, two intrepid divers encounter Greenland sharks in the St. Lawrence River. That’s right. Sharks! In the St. Lawrence! Story by Wayne Grady Shark tales — Meagan Ellis Three days later, on June 1, he received a second message, this one from Alain Simard, another Baie-Comeau diver. While working on a dock installation in a small inlet east of Baie-Comeau, Simard had made three dives in one day, and on each, he’d been inspected by a Greenland shark — a huge female maybe two metres in length. This time, Gallant’s hesitation evaporated. He called his friend and fellow diver Chris Harvey-Clark, a marine biologist and veterinarian at Dalhousie University in Halifax. Harvey-Clark and his girlfriend Alison Mills, also a diver, had been part of the 2001 expedition to the Saguenay, and Harvey-Clark is as keen on sharks as Gallant is. When Gallant told him about the two messages from Baie-Comeau, Harvey-Clark’s response was simple: “Why aren’t you up there?” Twelve hours later, Gallant was.

Dynamic thinning of East Greenland glaciers measured by Satellite Radar feature tracking Proposed PhD studentship Supervisors: Dr Adrian Luckman Department of Geography University of Wales, Swansea, UK Dr. Tavi Murray School of Geography University of Leeds, UK Project Description There is enough ice in Greenland to contribute over 6m of increase to global sea levels. Any changes in the behaviour of the Greenland ice sheet is therefore of great interest and recent evidence has demonstrated a significant thinning of many glaciers in East Greenland (Krabill et al., 1999; Abdalati et al., 2001). Such high thinning rates are unlikely to result simply from extra melt during warmer summers but are probably also due to increased rates of glacier flow. This project will determine changes in the flow rate of glaciers in the Blosseville Coast region of East Greenland throughout the 1990’s using satellite radar imagery from the European ERS satellites. The technique of feature-tracking using cross-correlation between pairs of images has been shown to be appropriate for measuring surface velocities on many glaciers in this region (Luckman et al., 2003). Where possible, measured velocities will be compared to balance velocities estimated from topographic information and meteorological data (e.g. Bamber et al., 2002). The impact on sea level rise of measured thinning rates and increased surface velocities will be estimated and extrapolated under future climate scenarios in collaboration with the Climate and Land Surface Systems Interaction Centre (CLASSIC).

Zeno Brothers' Mythical Lands History Maps References Other map pages: Locations Cartographers Return to mythical geography home page The History A 16th century work, entitled De I Commentarii del Viaggio , purports to tell of the travels of Nicolo and Antonio Zeno. This volume gave an account of a 14th century voyage by the Zeno brothers in the Northern Atlantic. They were supposed to have sailed extensively in these relatively unknown waters, including to the new lands of Frisland, Icaria, Estotiland, and Drogio, the latter two of which were associated with the American continent. Nicolo Zeno, a descendant of the Zeno brothers, supposedly found the manuscript along with a map, which he published in Venice in 1558. It was claimed that this showed that it was not the Genoese Christopher Columbus who had discovered America, but the Venetian Zeno brothers a century before. In the map, Frisland and Icaria are islands near Greenland, Estotiland is part of the North American continent, and Drogio is a large island nearby, perhaps Nova Scotia. It is now generally thought that this volume was a complete fabrication, but it was widely accepted as true when first issued. The original map was published in 1558 and this was followed in 1561 by another version issued by Giordano Ruscelli, also from Venice. Gerard Mercator, in his seminal world map of 1569 included the Zeno geography, and this depiction was followed closely by Abraham Ortelius in his influential map of the Northern Atlantic in 1573. The non-existent lands of the Zeno brother's account, then, were spread widely to most other cartographers of the late sixteenth century.
