Since the start of satellite measurements in 1979, Arctic sea ice already lost half of its volume (annual average).
🚨 2025 observed the lowest #Arctic sea-ice extent AND the lowest sea-ice volume for their yearly average values. This comes as no surprise to me as the polar environment continues to change. The consequences are far-reaching.

The nature cure: how time outdoors transforms our memory, imagination and logic. Without engaging with natural environments, our brains cease to work well. Exposure to nature isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity.

Aux Antilles, la prolifération des sargasses étouffe les mangroves et les herbiers marins, « rendant l’espace inhabitable »
Les premiers résultats de recherches menées par l’université des Antilles permettent de mieux cerner l’impact des algues brunes sur la faune et la flore de plusieurs écosystèmes cruciaux.

The increase in net calcification was independent of the net calcification indicating that the mechanism was decreased dissolution in under saturated microenvironments.
