Alex Gough has a curious job. He's the only programmer for 500 miles at a remote Antarctic research station. His problems are like your problems too, though--gathering, manipulating, recording, and displaying data. Here's how he uses several CPAN modules to make pretty charts and graphs with almost no work.

ENVIRONMENT: A four-year study documents Arctic warming, and adventurers say the world needs to take action. BY JOHN MYERS. When Arctic explorer Lonnie Dupre saw two giant glaciers on his map of Greenland, he worried how his group would get around them.

Up and down the icy spine of South America, the glaciers are melting, the white mantle of the Andes Mountains washing away at an ever faster rate.

Scientists were watching on Monday for a collision between a giant iceberg and an Antarctic glacier, which could free up sea lanes to America's McMurdo Station and help penguins reach crucial feeding areas.

PARIS -- Children in Norway plead for snow. Polar researchers describe melting glaciers. Some experts say that within this century, the Arctic may no longer be ice-locked.

There's new evidence from an Antarctic ice core that the popular image of the melting poles doesn't quite fit reality at the southern one. Elizabeth R. Thomas of the British Antarctic Survey and colleagues report in Geophysical Research Letters that snow accumulation has doubled since 1850 in the western Antarctic peninsula, and that the trend [...].

The weight of evidence to suggest that some Antarctic glaciers are melting at an increasing pace continues to build. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) has been melting naturally

Arctic ice is melting fast, much faster than anticipated, leading some scientists to believe we may have already passed the tipping point as far as global warming is concerned.

As early as the 1970s, several theorists and climate modelers predicted that global warming would cause ice shelves in the oceans around Antarctica to melt and release glaciers.

WASHINGTON - Scientists say changes in the earth&#39;s climate from human influences are occurring particularly intensely in the Arctic region, evidenced by widespread melting of glaciers, thinning sea ice and rising permafrost temperatures.

Glaciers in Antarctica are thinning faster than they did in the 1990s and researchers have discovered an unexpected folded section deep beneath the ice cap, findings that may indicate the ice is less stable than had been thought.    Glaciers in West Antarctica are discharging 60 percent more ice into the sea than they are accumulating from snowfall, a research team led by Robert Thomas at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Wallops Island, Va., reports in Thursday's issue of the journal Science...
