Researchers from the University of Murica (Murica, Spain), the Carlos III Health Institute (Madrid, Spain), and the University of Siena (Siena, Italy) evaluated the concentration of polychlorinated ...

Penguin guano could be an unexpected ally in the fight against Antarctic climate change. Researchers discovered that ammonia emissions from Adélie penguin colonies contribute to cloud formation, which ...

Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) in Antarctica mainly eat fish and krill, so their droppings are rich in nitrogen. In the soil, the nitrogen supports thriving communities of mosses, lichens ...

In Antarctica, penguin poop, or guano, can cover the ground for miles, especially around penguin colonies with thousands of individuals. In fact, large, brown guano stains on Antarctica’s white ...

Adelie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) are medium-sized penguins that can weigh up to 13 pounds and stand between 2 and 2.5 feet tall. They live on the Antarctic continent and breed around the coast ...

Between 2021 and 2023, ice sheet's mass increased at an average annual pace of 119 billion tons Antarctica has gained some ice in certain areas despite global warming, NASA satellites have discovered.

The Antarctic Slope Current shields Antarctica from warm waters. But new research shows meltwater is speeding up the current, which could make it more unstable.

Ammonia released from penguin guano may help to reduce the effects of climate change in the Antarctic by contributing to increased cloud formation, according to an analysis published in Communications ...

Antarctica has its own 'shield' against warm water—but this could now be under threat by Ellie Ong, Edward Doddridge, Matthew England and Navid Constantinou, The Conversation ...
