Antarctica's Retreating Ice Reveals Nutrient-Rich Peaks Boosting Ocean Carbon Uptake
London, UK (SPX) Nov 25, 2025 A new study led by Northumbria University polar scientists has identified a process in East Antarctica that could help lower atmospheric carbon dioxide over extended timescales. As climate change causes the continent's ice sheets to thin, mountain peaks previously buried by ice are becoming exposed, releasing increased levels of nutrients into the Southern Ocean. The international research
Antarctic nunataks could help boost carbon absorption as ice sheets thin
New research led by scientists at Northumbria University suggests that changes occurring in Antarctica could play a surprising role in supporting Earth’s natural ability to absorb carbon dioxide As ice sheets in East Antarctica thin due to climate warming, newly exposed mountain peaks are revealing nutrient-rich rocks that may enhance the Southern Ocean’s capacity to draw carbon from the atmosphere. Published in Nature Communications, the study …
A recent study reveals that the melting of Antarctic ice at the beginning of the Holocene caused a series of interconnected events, which would have had an impact on sea currents, land temperature and ocean levels. The melting of Antarctic ice triggered a chain reaction 9,000 years ago, written by Marc Odilon, appeared first on NeozOne.
