In the pure white snow of Antarctica, scientists have found rare isotopes that don’t occur naturally on Earth. The isotope, known as iron-60, is usually forged in the crucible of supernova explosions, and the researchers believe it fell to Ea… Continue reading Interstellar isotopes found in Antarctica were forged from supernovae
The melting of Antarctic ice sheets is one of the most visceral consequences of climate change, but the full extent of their impact on the cycle remains mostly unknown. Now, researchers from the US and South Korea have run climate simulations… Continue reading Melting icebergs could play significant role in slowing down warming
July 2019 has been found to be the hottest month ever recorded, which is news that won’t surprise anybody who sweated through the heat wave that gripped Europe, North America and indeed much of the Northern Hemisphere this summer. This contin… Continue reading July 2019 was the hottest month on record, says new report
The hole in the Earth’s ozone layer may be on the mend, but that doesn’t mean its environmental impacts are over. A new review study has examined in detail the effects that the extra UV radiation is having on the environment, such as shifting… Continue reading How the hole in the ozone layer is affecting climate change
“This small archipelago, that measures only 15 kilometers from one end to the other, has more Adélie penguins than the entire rest of the Antarctic peninsula combined.” Continue reading Scientists Discover Hidden ‘Supercolony’ of 1.5 Million Penguins After Tracking Poop From Space
The Montreal Protocol of 1987 continues to be a success story about international environmental cooperation. Continue reading Ozone Recovery Continues, But Suspected Emissions From China Slows Progress
Scientists sent cameras down a tiny tunnel in the Ross Ice Shelf to study the impact of warming waters beneath it. Continue reading Watch this Dizzying Descent Into a 300-Meter-Deep Antarctic Borehole
“We’re still trying to figure out what’s going on.” Continue reading A Giant, Mysterious Hole Has Opened Up in Antarctica
Some parts of Antarctica will be a “refuge” to the species. Continue reading 60 Percent of Some Antarctic Penguin Colonies Could Decline by 2100, Study Says
The Deep Argo probe provides critical information for understanding climate change Continue reading Deep-Diving Robots will Plunge 16,000 Feet to Monitor the Ocean Abyss
