Why the Sea Ice in Antartica is Alarming Scientists
It’s currently winter in Antarctica, but that doesn’t mean the polar region is exempt from the extreme temperatures that are scorching the world. While normally the ocean around Antarctica freezes in the winter, growing sea ice that is essential to the marine food web, this year that ice isn’t growing as usual. “What we’re seeing […]
Using Evidence From Last Ice Age, Scientists Predict Effects of Rising Seas on Coastal Habitats
Extent of future warming will dictate impacts, according to research involving a Rutgers scientist The rapid sea level rise and resulting retreat of coastal habitat seen at the end of the last Ice Age could repeat itself if global average temperatures rise beyond certain levels, according to an analysis by an international team of scientists […]
