    "In spring, stretches of Antarctic sea ice melt to form pockets of open water, perfect homes for #algae. These #microbes become so abundant that they turn the water green... Spring blooms shade ice shelves, causing them to melt 7% more slowly than with bloomless waters."

  5. Latest study on warming oceans affecting ice shelf melting increasing instability of ice sheet: Unavoidable future increase in West Antarctic ice-shelf melting over the twenty-first century (Naughten et Al 23 Oct 2023)

    “results suggest that mitigation of greenhouse gases now has limited power to prevent ocean warming that could lead to the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.”
