Who needs #BioLabs when there's all sorts of #bacteria about to be exposed after thousands of years!
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."

#Juneau’s record glacial outburst flood prompts evacuations and destroys at least 1 home
August 5, 2023 by Anna Canny, KTOO
"The source of this weekend’s #flooding is a #glacial dam outburst flood from #SuicideBasin, above the #MendenhallGlacier. An update from the National Weather Service described record flooding of waterways and low-lying areas, along with flooding 'in areas that have not previously seen flooding before.'"

How #ClimateChange impacts #volcanic activity
By Jane Marsh on March 1, 2022
"Researchers at Leeds wanted to understand how the pressure exerted by Earth’s #glaciers onto the crust impacts movements below the surface. This process, known as 'surface loading,' can change the flow of magma and thus lead to more volcanic activity.
"The study, which took place in 2017, looked back at the activity of #Iceland’s many #volcanoes 4500 to 5500 years ago, when Earth was still recovering from the latest Ice Age.
"Based on the amount of ash deposited in the surrounding area, they concluded that the island’s volcanoes became more active and extreme as more ice melted.
"While they’re unsure of the details, the mechanics that explain this phenomenon are straightforward. Glaciers put immense pressure on the Earth’s surface, restricting the flow of magma. When the glaciers melt, magma can move more freely, bubbling to the surface and erupting more easily.
"The Cambridge study, released in 2021, suggests that climate change will transform the cooling effects of volcanic eruptions. As the atmosphere warms, the smoke and fumes from eruptions will be able to rise higher. The fumes might also travel farther, affecting regions half a world away."

#ClimateChange will increase impacts of #volcanic eruptions
June 28, 2023, Portland State University
"Volcanic disasters have been studied since Pompeii was buried in 79 A.D., leading the public to believe that scientists already know why, where, when and how long volcanoes will erupt. But a volcanologist said these fundamental questions remain a mystery."
However, we do know that, "#SeaLevel rise, #GlacialMelting, #aquifer depletion, and #mountain #erosion can all affect the likelihood and frequency of volcanic eruptions."
