Polar oceans transformed as warming melts ice habitats, research finds
Original: Polar oceans transformed as warming melts ice habitats: Research
New research reported by Phys.org and AFP finds that polar oceans are being fundamentally transformed as warming temperatures melt sea ice and destroy ice-dependent habitats. The studies indicate that species relying on ice for shelter, feeding and breeding face mounting pressure, with wider consequences for polar marine ecosystems and food webs.
Why now: Fresh research highlighting rapid climate-driven change in polar oceans has been picked up by multiple outlets.
