🌍 Hidden lakes under Antarctic ice
Using a decade of CryoSat-2 data, scientists found 85 new active subglacial lakes, boosting the total by 58% and revealing vast hidden water networks.

Abrupt and alarming changes in the icy Antarctic region call for urgent measures. We have the means to cut emissions and limit further warming. Geoengineering projects only raise false hopes and divert resources.
Polar warming: Abrupt changes in Antarctic call for emissions cuts not geoengineering
The polar regions are undergoing alarming climate changes, particularly in Antarctica, where ice loss is accelerating. A study warns that geoengineering solutions are unlikely to be effective, distracting from essential emission reduction efforts. Immediate, evidence-based actions are necessary to combat climate change and achieve net-zero emissions to stabilize global temperatures.

📊 Antarctica's future weather forecast is in - and it's looking extreme!
New research reveals atmospheric rivers - massive aerial pathways of water vapour that travel thousands of kilometres - could DOUBLE over Antarctica by 2100!

This wiggling blob may not look very exciting, but I’m telling you, it was the highlight of last week for me! This is a Müller’s larva, and is a life stage of some Turbellarians (flatworms) and I have never seen one before! 1/2 🦑 #plankton

This is a map I first started about 4 years ago, and it’s been put down and picked back up about 5 times since then (we’ve all had projects like this!) but I’m so glad to see it finally released! The front cover shows some of the very varied terrain that has been mapped 😍
