Marine Oxygen levels have been linked to Trilobite size through the Cambrian and Ordovician (541-444ma). With oceans going anoxic today, will marine creatures be able to adapt in time? Paper: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #oceans #paleontology #trilobite #anoxia #oxygen

☠️An act of piracy has been witnessed in West Antarctica. The victim is the Kohler West Glacier, whose ice is being stollen by the neighbouring Kohler East glacier at a rate never anticipated before. tc.copernicus.org/articles/19/... #antarctica #iceshelf #glacier #climatechange #sealevelrise

The loss of polar sea ice could have significant consequences for algal and phytoplankton diversity affecting the whole food chain, but not in the way you might immediately think. A new paper shed light on the subject (sorry!) www.nature.com/articles/s41... #arctic #antarctic #seaice #blueocean

Ocean Heat Content is increasing faster in two bands around the globe according to a new detailed study. In both hemispheres the warming areas are near 40º latitude and the tropics where it is modulated by El Niño cycles. #climatechange #oceans #oceancurrents #TOA #oceanheatcontent #OHC #aerosols

Wetland methane emissions increase with warming temperatures according to an experimental study published this week. Warmer temperatures tip the scale of the finely balanced microbial tug-of-war. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #climatechange #methane #wetlands #emissions #smithsonian #feedback

Probably the best example of a collapse in the uptake of carbon dioxide on land (LULUCF) is in Finland. A significant and sustained carbon sink turned into a source in 10 years. robbieandrew.github.io/country/?cou... 1/
