The Southern Ocean around Antarctica has been expected to warm as a result of global climate change for decades, according to climate models. But scientists have discovered a startling trend: this enormous body of water has actually cooled over the last 40 years. Researchers from Stanford University have uncovered the primary reason behind this unexpected … Read more
Manashimaya Antarctica, Earth’s frozen frontier, has just lost a glacier as large as London, marking yet another alarming sign of climate change. This massive chunk of ice, once firmly attached to the continent, has now drifted away, raising concerns among scientists and environmentalists worldwide. Glaciers serve as nature’s reservoirs, storing freshwater and regulating global temperatures … Read more
In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have uncovered a thriving deep-sea ecosystem beneath the Antarctic ice after a colossal iceberg, the size of Chicago, broke away from the George VI Ice Shelf. This rare event, which occurred on January 13, provided researchers aboard the Falkor research vessel with an unprecedented opportunity to explore a world that … Read more
For centuries, Antarctica has remained one of the most mysterious and least explored continents on Earth. A vast, frozen expanse stretching over 13.63 million square kilometers, its icy surface conceals a world never seen before. Thanks to groundbreaking research from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and collaborating institutions, scientists have unveiled the most detailed map … Read more
In a startling revelation, NASA has reported that global sea levels rose more than expected in 2024, signaling a growing climate crisis. Scientists had anticipated a rise of 0.17 inches (0.43 cm), but the actual increase was 0.23 inches (0.59 cm), exceeding predictions. This unexpected acceleration is attributed to record-breaking ocean warming and increased melting … Read more
Our globe is changing quickly due to global warming, and its destructive repercussions are not just felt on land. Rising temperatures, melting glaciers, and increased coastal runoff are causing an existential catastrophe for underwater forests, especially kelp ecosystems. Known as the “trees of the ocean,” kelps are essential to marine environments. Innumerable marine species rely … Read more
