The Southern Ocean is critical to the rest of the oceans, accounting for one-third of global carbon dioxide sequestration and playing an important role in mitigating climate change by lowering…
The snow cover of the polar regions is an important component of the global climate system, not only because it modifies energy and moisture fluxes between the land surface and…
Climate change is one of the factors with an influence on food web structure. This month’s question is: Will animals have the necessary capacity to adjust their energetic expenditure and…
Events characterized by high temperatures in the oceans have become increasingly common, including in the Southern Ocean. This Ocean, where numerous species live, most of which are endemic to this…
In the past, artists accompanied scientific expeditions to illustrate discoveries, landscapes, new species and more. Later, photographers began to integrate campaigns to inspire their work and later held exhibitions. Antarctica…
With climate change impacts, many species are forced to alter their behaviour and distributions over time, due to the scarcity of natural resources essential for the population’s survival. In some…
Nowadays, much is said about climate change and its consequences. For example, the increase in the average global temperature, the appearance of rare and extreme precipitation events, severe droughts, the…
During the 2021 winter, several cold extreme events were noticed, mainly over Asia and North America. However, would this type of events be expected when the global warming, associated with…
Credits: Lars van de Goor Almost all scientists agree that the warming observed since the Industrial Revolution is largely explained by rising atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, and as a result,…
Climate change is affecting almost all regions and ecosystems. Particularly in the Arctic, where rapid sea-ice loss and increasing temperatures are altering the distribution and abundance of low trophic-level organisms,…
