Ozone recovery is changing life in Antarctica in an unexpected way
5+ day, 18+ hour ago (612+ words) Ozone recovery is reducing UV radiation in Antarctica, but new research suggests the change could weaken tundra carbon uptake in unexpected ways. The recovery of Antarctica’s ozone layer counts as one of the genuine environmental success stories of the past…...
NASA satellite captures a spectacular turquoise halo around the Chatham Islands, and an underwater plateau nearly 500 miles long could be the cause of this strange ocean phenomenon
3+ week, 1+ day ago (623+ words) NASA captures a turquoise halo around the Chatham Islands, revealing how an underwater plateau may fuel a vast plankton bloom. A satellite image captured on January 10, 2026, shows bright green and chalky blue water curling into a broad ring around New…...
Coastal erosion sends ice-age carbon into the sea, where microbes barely touch it
2+ week, 5+ day ago (1248+ words) Carbon from Arctic permafrost washing into the sea is not readily used by seabed microbes that prefer fresh marine carbon sources. Arctic coasts are eroding fast, and the soil dropping into the sea has been frozen as permafrost since the…...
Massive iceberg breaks away from Greenland’s Petermann Glacier
2+ week, 5+ day ago (731+ words) A huge section of Greenland’s Petermann Glacier has broken away, creating a rare Arctic ice island that scientists will now track from space. Today’s Image of the Day from the European Space Agency (ESA) shows a massive iceberg breaking away…...
