Melting sea ice in Antarctica causes ocean storms, scientists say
The record-breaking retreat of Antarctic sea ice in 2023 has led to more frequent storms over newly exposed parts of the Southern Ocean, according to a study published Wednesday.

🌳 Deep inside TERN’s Robson Creek Supersite in Far North Queensland, a silent shift is underway. The forest looks alive, but the data tells another story. What happens when a #carbonsink becomes a #carbonsource?

Rainforests’ invisible carbon problem
The rainforests in northeast Australia are some of the most protected in the world – they haven't been logged in nearly 40 years. But after decades of measuring these forests tree by tree, scientists ...
