NASA Radar Finds Ice Deposits At Moon's North PoleWashington DC (SPX) Mar 02, 2010 Using data from a NASA radar that flew aboard India's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, scientists have detected ice deposits near the moon's north pole. NASA's Mini-SAR instrument, a lightweight, synthetic aperture radar, found more than 40 small craters with water ice. The craters range in size from 1 to 9 miles (2 to15 km) in diameter. Although the total amount of ice depends on its thickness in each crater, it's estimated there could be at least 1.3 million pounds (600 million metric tons) of water ic ... read more |

Pasadena CA (JPL) Feb 19, 2010In 2007, the Arctic lost a massive amount of thick, multiyear sea ice, contributing to that year's record-low extent of Arctic sea ice. A new NASA-led study has found that the record loss that year was due in part to the absence of "ice arches," naturally-forming, curved ice structures that span the openings between two land points. These arches block sea ice from being pushed by winds or ... more

UN climate czar caught in crossfire of thankless jobParis (AFP) Feb 18, 2010 Yvo de Boer, who said Thursday he would quit the UN's top climate post on July 1, drew fire from all sides during his more than three-year tenure. From the sidelines, he was accused of partisanship, tactical missteps and even lack of charisma. Dubbed the "crying Dutchman" following a brief breakdown at a critical 2007 climate meet in Bali, some critics even called him the "prince of darkness" due to his sombre mien and alleged lack of transparency. Complaints crescendoed at the December Cop ... read more |
