VERY SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE on ARTIC MELTING and SEA LEVEL CHANGE
WOODS HOLE OCEAN : ARTIC MELTING and SEA LEVEL CHANGE
This one is very scientific but you can read it...
EXCERPT: Sea level is a natural integral indicator of climate variability. It reflects changes in practically all dynamic and thermodynamic processes of terrestrial, oceanic, atmospheric, and cryospheric origin. The use of estimates of sea level rise as an indicator of climate change therefore incurs the difficulty that the inferred sea level change is the net result of many individual effects of environmental forcing. Since some of these effects may offset others, the cause of the sea level response to climate change remains somewhat uncertain. This project is focused on an attempt to provide first order answers to two questions, namely:
1) What is the rate of sea level change in the Arctic Ocean? and 2) What is the role of each of the individual contributing factors to observed Arctic Ocean sea level change?

ANTARCTIC WHALE SKELETON and NINE NEW DEEP SEA SPECIES
LA TIMES SCIENCE : First Antarctic whale skeleton turns up nine new deep-sea species link to full article and pictures! By Amina Khan
"Whale falls — when the body of a deceased whale sinks to the bottom of the ocean — can become an oasis rich in resources for deep-sea life. That ecosystem develops in stages: First, swimmers such as sharks, hagfish and crustaceans will gnaw off the flesh. Next, other hungry critters will break down the remaining soft tissues. Then chemical-consuming microorganisms will break down the waste sulfide left by previous generations, a process that may take decades."

ANTARTIC MELT WARMING ATLANTIC : FIRST TIME IN 2000 YEARS
Water flowing into the Atlantic is two degrees warmer than it has been for 2000 years, so Nature News brings this report on the effects of what might be global warming on our oceans.

WIRED SCIENCE reports on MASSIVE ICE BREAK OFF GREENLAND
"100-square-mile block of ice 600 feet thick has calved off one of the largest ocean-bordering glaciers in Greenland. The Arctic hasn’t lost a chunk of ice that large since 1962."
You can link to the whole article with a dramatic illustration by clicking on the title above!
