Less #UVlight may mean less carbon storage in Antarctic tundra

The #Antarctic ozone layer is recovering, a major environmental success following the #MontrealProtocol. As the #ozone layer heals, less #ultraviolet radiation reaches the Antarctic surface—a change usually viewed as beneficial for living organisms.
But a new field study suggests that the ecological story may be more complicated.

Last month was the 3rd lowest #Antarctic sea ice extent on record for the month of August.

This was 1,260,000 km² below the 1981-2010 August average. Data from https://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index

Researchers issue warning after making grim #Antarctic discovery: 'We are only beginning to understand'

Story by Daysia Tolentino, January 29, 2026

Excerpt: "A study published in the journal #Biocontaminant examined the effects of #GlacialMelting on our #WaterSupply.

"#Glaciers serve as reservoirs for #AntibioticResistanceGenes, or #ARGs, and other #microbes. When they are released from the ice, they enter our water systems, posing a major health risk to people downstream.

"Millions of people get their water from glacier-fed rivers and lakes. ARGs are strands of DNA that make bacteria more resistant to drugs. When ARGs in #meltwater make their way into our water supply, they become a global public health risk.

"The study emphasizes the importance of viewing glaciers, rivers, and lakes as being part of a 'glacier continuum.' This means they are an interconnected system rather than separate environments.

Why are melting glaciers concerning?

"From our gas-powered cars to #overconsumption, human activity has contributed to the production of heat-trapping gases that warm the planet. Rising global temperatures have caused glaciers to rapidly melt, causing elevated sea levels and releasing ARGs.

"ARGs from melting glaciers are worrisome because they help facilitate the spread of diseases. This threat is compounded by the fact that our growing #microplastic problem is also helping #AntibioticResistant #bacteria breed. As a result, #medicines are being rendered less effective."

"Aún me acuerdo cuando se usaba el hielo marino de la Antártida como negación de un calentamiento global porque se veía una tendencia positiva.

Pues ya eso se ha acabado."
