Drying Lakebeds Are Releasing Massive Amounts of #Carbon, Study Finds
The #AralSea Has Been Drying Up For 60 Years. New Research Shows It's Also Releasing Massive Amounts of Carbon
The study estimates that between 1960 and 2022, the evaporating sea has released 204 megatons of #carbondioxide into the atmosphere, based on site surveys and core samples collected from across the dry lakebed.

The Aral Sea vanished, but the spring kept going.

If you stood here the day you were born, you’d be 12 meters underwater. Today, the Aral has left, leaving behind its sea bottom.
