Microplastics are now so widespread that scientists routinely find them in oceans, polar snow, and even inside the human body. What researchers did not expect, however, was to find them in sediment layers that appear to predate the age of modern plastic production. Yet that is exactly what multiple recent studies have revealed. In lakes…
For the First Time in Years, Antarctica Shows a Massive Annual Ice Gain Exceeding 100 Billion Tons
For the first time in decades, Antarctica has delivered a climate story that caught almost everyone off guard.
