Heat from Earth’s Interior Likely Affects Ice Masses, says Study

Ice losses from Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica are now accountable for around 4% of the global sea-level rise. This number could rise as virtually no other ice stream in the Antarctic is changing as much as the massive Thwaites Glacier.

Beneficial Micro-Organisms for Corals can Increase Survival After Bleaching

New research suggests that treating corals with a probiotic cocktail consisting of beneficial bacteria can help in survival after a bleaching event. This technique can be employed prior to a predicted heatwave event, to help corals to recover from high sea temperatures.

Climate Change Linked to Changes in Growth Patterns of Marine Belemnites

Geologists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg joined forces with researchers from France, Berlin, and Portugal to investigate the extent to which the growth of belemnites and changes to their appearance depend on ecological reactions and whether these changes are evidence of environmental crises that could have a serious impact on the climate in future.
