Arktik merupakan kawasan yang jauh dari jangkauan sepanjang sejarah. Tapi, perubahan iklim membawa masalah dan kesempatan global.
El Ártico ha sido un lugar remoto durante gran parte de su historia. Pero el cambio climático está trayendo problemas y oportunidades globales a su puerta.
L’Arctique a été isolé pendant une grande partie de son histoire. Les changements climatiques lui apportent de nouveaux problèmes mais aussi de nouvelles opportunités.
The Arctic has been a remote place for much of its history. But climate change is bringing global problems and opportunities to its door.
In a world-first, scientists have counted the greenhouse gas absorbed and emitted by Australia’s mangroves, seagrass and other ocean ecosystems.
The sediments that accumulate beneath seagrass meadows can act as secure vaults for shipwrecks and other precious artefacts, by stopping water and oxygen from damaging the delicate timbers.
You can learn a lot about the movement of people and animals if you tap into the tracking data from many of today’s mobile phones.
Mangroves are superheroes on both land and sea, storing carbon and providing protection for coasts.
La « théorie de l’océan gluant » où les méduses envahiraient les mers du globe n’est pas très rigoureuse… Leçon de science.
How flawed citation practices can perpetuate scientific ideas even before they’ve been fully established as true.
Rising sea levels will lead to a drastic decline in seagrass stocks, a new study has found, but reducing water pollution may help offset the effects. Seagrass is crucial to slowing climate change because…
Seagrass stores carbon 35 times faster than rainforests, preventing billions of tonnes of greenhouse gases escaping every year, but its crucial role in slowing climate change has been largely overlooked…
Scientists have identified skin cancer in the Great Barrier Reef’s wild fish populations which is almost identical to melanomas found in humans. The team of researchers from the Australian Institute of…
Carbon emissions are drawn deep into the Southern Ocean by plunging currents, scientists have found, challenging the idea that carbon is locked away from the atmosphere by being absorbed across vast areas…
An ancient seagrass that spans up to 15 kilometres and weighs more than 6,000 metric tonnes may be more than 100,000 years old - making it the oldest living organism, Australian researchers have found…
