Climate Science
The Ocean provides a fundamental ecosystem service to our society by absorbing about 30% of atmospheric CO2 which helps mitigate the effects of climate change. Zooplankton play a pivotal role … The post CUPIDO appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
The humble blue mussel is fighting to protect itself from environmental change and increased predation by building itself a thicker shell. The unexpected phenomenon, tracked by researchers through generations of museum specimens, shows that climate change can have complex localized impacts that cannot be predicted by global experimental models.
The post Inhibitory effects of climate change on the growth and extracellular enzyme activities of a widespread Antarctic soil fungus appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
The post Analysis and attribution of climate change in the upper atmosphere from 1950 to 2015 simulated by WACCM-X appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
The post Geothermal heat flow in Antarctica: current and future directions appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
New research shows that Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), a key link in the Southern Ocean food web, have refuges from the rapid climatic warming and ice loss that has degraded … The post Antarctic krill take refuge from climate change appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
New research has revealed that climate changes associated with past episodes of abrupt warming in Greenland occurred synchronously across a region extending from the Arctic to the Southern Hemisphere subtropics. … The post Synchronous timing of past abrupt climate changes appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
The post Synchronous timing of abrupt climate changes during the last glacial period appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
An international study, involving Professor Eric Wolff at the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge, has found that the onset of past climate changes was synchronous over an area extending from the Arctic to the low latitudes.
A new study, published this week in the journal Nature Climate Change, supports predictions that the Arctic could be free of sea ice by 2035. High temperatures in the Arctic … The post Past evidence supports complete loss of Arctic sea-ice by 2035 appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
