- 2Alaska soils warming significantly in permafrost and non-permafrost regions▼Significant Soil Warming Across Alaska Permafrost And Non-Permafrost Regions From 1997 To 2023 -- https:// doi.org/10.33
A new study finds significant soil warming across Alaska between 1997 and 2023, affecting both permafrost and non-permafrost regions, with permafrost areas warming fastest. The findings, reported in Frontiers in Climate and covered by Phys.org, add to concerns about thawing permafrost releasing stored carbon and accelerating climate change.
- 3Parasol idea floated to shade overheating corals●I'm fairly sure that this isn't scalable, but it's such a cute idea. It's getting a bit too hot for the corals? Let's ge
A marine science paper in Frontiers in Marine Science proposes shading corals, with a beach parasol-style approach, to protect reefs from heat stress caused by warming waters. Commenters are charmed by the idea but doubt it can be scaled up to cover reefs meaningfully, framing it as a cute but limited response to coral bleaching.
