China Loses 26 Percent of Its Glaciers Due to Global Warming, Claims New Study
China's glaciers have shrunk by 26 percent over six decades, with nearly 7,000 small glaciers disappearing. Data from the Chinese Academy of Sciences reveals that glacier area dropped from 59,000 sq km in the 1960s to 46,000 sq km by 2020. Scientists warn that continued ice loss could worsen water shortages. Authorities are trying to slow the proce...

Antarctic Ice Melt Weakens Strongest Ocean Current, Disrupting Global Circulation
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the planet’s most powerful ocean circulation system, could slow by 20 percent by 2050 due to melting Antarctic ice. Researchers suggest that the influx of fresh, cold water is disrupting convection, altering global ocean density. A weaker current may allow warm water to reach Antarctica, accelerating ice loss an...

Microbes Uncovered in Amazon Peatlands Could Alter Global Carbon Dynamics
Microscopic organisms found in the tropical peatlands of Peru’s northwestern Amazon are helping regulate the carbon cycle, a key factor in Earth’s climate. These microbes, part of the Bathyarchaeia group, thrive in waterlogged, oxygen-deprived conditions and exhibit unique metabolic behaviours that either store or release carbon. Researchers wa...

Here's How Environmental and Physical Traits Shape Bird Sounds Across Habitats
A global study of over 100,000 bird sound recordings reveals how environmental and physical factors shape bird communication. Birds adapt their calls in response to habitat noise, with species in noisy areas producing higher-pitched sounds for better visibility. Physical traits like body size and beak shape also play a significant role in sound fre...

Permafrost Thawing Could Accelerate Climate Change, Here’s What It Means
Permafrost, a frozen layer rich in organic matter, is degrading due to rising temperatures. By the end of the century, researchers predict significant thawing, releasing carbon into the atmosphere. In a study by Zhengzhou University and Purdue University, thawing scenarios under two climate pathways (SSP126 and SSP585) project the release of up to ...
