"Rain, once rare in Antarctica, is becoming a force capable of reshaping life on the peninsula. Limiting warming to below 1.5°C won’t prevent these changes entirely. But it could slow how quickly rainfall transforms the frozen continent."

Global analysis of over 14 million measurements shows ocean nitrate and phosphate levels are shifting rapidly and unevenly, with significant implications for marine productivity and ecosystem stability. doi.org/hbsb2p
Cool, so NSF is now going to be used to essentially launder money to tech bros because universities are just too cumbersome and disciplinary oversight and regulations and accountability are all just too stifling for innovation.

NSF's mission is to advance the progress of science, a mission accomplished by funding proposals for research and education made by scientists, engineers, and educators from across the country.
Great work going on with AK Earthquake teams! @alaska.earthquakes.live

Mining the ocean floor: nodules, crusts, and brine pools -- wise to prioritize the acquisition of knowledge of seabed ecosystems and processes BEFORE before before any thought of extraction:
Science X / Phys.org
A mining company sent an advanced ship to try to vacuum up valuable minerals from the deep ocean. Here’s how it worked.
In the Antarctic Peninsula, precipitation is increasingly falling as rain rather than snow, with consequences for glaciers, penguins and even scientists.
Critical minerals are found in several forms in the ocean, from potato-size nodules to brine pools. They are also in some of the least understood parts of our planet.
From coral reefs and kelp forests to the open ocean and deep-sea zones, nutrients that support phytoplankton growth and marine productivity form the foundation of oceanic ecosystems.
