#PolarBears in the #BarentsSea are staying fat despite rapid sea #ice loss
#Arctic #bears may be surviving by shifting to new food sources
When #seaice goes away, bears get thinner. If bears in a population are losing fat, that can be an early warning population will decline.
Researchers are interested in polar bears living on #Svalbard because relationship between sea ice and fat loss should be strong. Polar bears there shouldn’t have much fat.

No sea ice, no problem for these Barents Sea bears — for now

Back before the #BananaMan took over anything nuclear ("Radiation is harmless! It's even in bananas!"), there was actual reporting on the dangers of #NuclearPower (and weapons)!

#Radioactivity in the Ocean: Diluted, But Far from Harmless

With contaminated water from Japan’s crippled #Fukushima nuclear complex continuing to pour into the Pacific, scientists are concerned about how that radioactivity might affect marine life. Although the ocean’s capacity to dilute radiation is huge, signs are that nuclear isotopes are already moving up the local #FoodChain.

By Elizabeth Grossman • April 7, 2011

"Over the past half-century, the world has seen its share of incidents in which radioactive material has been dumped or discharged into the oceans. A British nuclear fuels plant has repeatedly released radioactive waste into the Irish Sea [#Sellafield] , a French nuclear reprocessing plant has discharged similar waste into the #EnglishChannel, and for decades the Soviets dumped large quantities of radioactive material into the #ArcticOcean, #KaraSea, and #BarentsSea. That radioactive material included reactors from at least 16 Soviet #nuclear-powered submarines and icebreakers, and large amounts of liquid and solid #NuclearWaste from USSR military bases and weapons plants."

Arctic Carbon Conveyor Belt Discovered https://www.awi.de/en/about-us/service/press/single-view/arktisches-kohlenstoff-foerderband-entdeckt.html

#CarbonDioxide sink in the #ArcticOcean from cross-shelf transport of dense #BarentsSea water https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-022-01069-z

A previously unknown transport route uses the biological #CarbonPump and #OceanCurrents to absorb atmospheric #CO2 on the scale of Iceland’s total annual #emissions. The outflow manifests in seasonal pulses, since in the #Arctic, the absorption of CO2 by #phytoplankton only takes place in summer.
