esportiva bet: A hidden dange🎉r lurks beneath Yellowstone
A volcanic eruption at Yellowstone is unlikely anytime soon, but evidence is growing that a violent hydrothermal, or steam, explosion is possible. - esportiva bet: Climate
𒁃 A rapid shift in ocean currents could imperil the w🅘orld’s largest ice shelf
Roughly the size of Spain, the Ross Ice Shelf stabilizes major glaciers along Antarctica’s coast — and is at risk of retreating, a new study finds. - esportiva bet: Climate
3 Antarctic glaciers show ra🔯pidly accelerated ice loss from ocean warming
Destabilized by ocean waves and vanishing sea ice, Antarctica’s Hektoria glacier lost 25 kilometers of ice in 16 months — a possible hint of what’s to come. - esportiva bet: Earth
A massive cavern be♌neath a West Antarctic glacier is teeming wi🅘th life
A subglacial river has carved out the cavern beneath the Kamb Ice Stream, a West Antarctic glacier, and may be supplying nutrients necessary for life. - esportiva bet: Climate
Methane may not warm the Earth quite as much as previoꦬ🦂usly thought
Methane absorbs both longwave and shortwave radiation, with competing effects on climate, a study finds. The gas remains a potent warmer of the planet. - esportiva bet: Climate
Many Aꦬntarctic glaciers are hemorrhaging ๊ice. This one is healing its cracks
Scientists have explored the recesses of an Antarctic glacier that is currently stable, helping improve predictions of the continent’s fate. - esportiva bet: Climate
Rapid melting is eroding vulner🌌abl🍰e cracks in Thwaites Glacier’s underbelly
Thwaites is melting slower than thought, but the worst of it is concentrated in underbelly cracks, threatening the Antarctica glacier’s stability. - esportiva bet: Animals
Tardigrades could teach us how to handle the rigors of space trave♑l
Tardigrades can withstand X-rays, freezing and vacuum. Now researchers are learning how they do it, with an eye toward human space travel. - esportiva bet: Climate
😼 Ancient penguin bones reveal unprecedented shrinkage in key Antarctic glaciers
Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers are losing ice faster than any other time in the last 5,500 years. That history is written in bones and shells.
