“The planet has transformed as #HumanActivities alter the texture of our land as seen from space, expanding cities, #clearing dark #forests
for replacement by bright agricultural lands and contributing to the desiccation of the Aral Sea which has shrunk to less than 10% of its 1960s size."

“Some of that change can even be seen in the images themselves, even though the Earth is shrouded in cloud. "Although they're of different parts of the Earth, the one thing that does show up in both images, although you're looking at different parts of it, is Antarctica and the #SouthernOcean," says #BenjaminWallis, a glaciologist at the University of Leeds in the UK. "The #Antarctic Peninsula is one of the most rapidly warming parts of the #Earth and 28,000km of ice shelf have collapsed in between the original image and the latest image."

✧ blue petrel ✧

The blue petrel (Halobaena caerulea) is a small seabird in the family Procellariidae, the only member of its genus. It is distributed across the Southern Ocean but breeds at only six known sites, all close to the Antarctic Convergence zone. Its plumage is predominantly blue-grey, with an "M" banding across its top, ...

(2/3)

Scientists have called for urgent research into the Southern Ocean, the heart of the global ocean that connects all the other oceans. The Southern Ocean controls heat and carbon uptake from the atmosphere and keeps the planet livable. However, it is also one of the most under-observed regions and faces multiple threats from climate change, such as sea ice loss and acidification.

"Is the #ClimateCrisis finally catching up with #Antarctica? Finding the answer has never been more pressing - Our inability to confidently predict sea level rise between an extremely challenging two metres and a civilisation-ending 10 metres is an exemplar of the problem facing researchers"

Andrew Meijers, Oceanographer with British Antarctic Survey, writes in today's #Guardian (07.08.2023); a compelling and chilling read.
...
"The global #climate is one hugely #complex interconnected system. While the #Antarctic and Southern Ocean are far removed from our daily lives, they play an oversized role in this system and the future climate that concerns humanity now. “Global warming” is really “ocean warming”. The atmospheric temperature change, the 1.5C Paris target we are now perilously near to exceeding, really is only a few percent of our total excess trapped heat. Almost all the rest is in the ocean and it is around Antarctica that it is predominantly taken up. How this uptake may change in the future as winds, temperatures and ice shift is a critical scientific, and human, question.
...
hese last few months have been a turbulent time to be an oceanographer, particularly one specialising in the vast Southern Ocean around Antarctica and its role in our climate. The media has been awash with stories of marine heatwaves across the northern hemisphere, the potential collapse of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation by mid-century and the record-breaking deficit in Antarctic sea ice emerging this southern winter. Alongside heatwaves and bushfires in North America and southern Europe, flooding in China and South American winter temperatures above 38C, the climate has moved from a “future problem” to a “now problem” in the minds of many."

This morning in #Patagonia, #highlatitudedust activity from several dry lakes (including the large dry bed Colhué Huapi) . Long dust plumes.

The winds are such that dust initially moves east and then veers south making likely this dust will reach the #SouthernOcean and maybe #Antarctica.

This is a good example of dust activity in the middle of the winter (there is even snow not too far south , red circle)
