World Peatland Day: Protecting a crucial carbon sink Peatlands are one of the world’s biggest carbon sinks. These naturally waterlogged boggy swamps can hold thousands of years’ worth of compressed, partially decomposed vegetation matter — despite…

Peatlands are one of the world’s biggest carbon sinks. Despite covering just 3-4% of Earth’s land surface, they’re thought to store more carbon per area than the world’s forests combined.

In honor of World Peatland Day on June 2 here's three recent Mongabay stories on this critical ecosystem...

Heatmap with average relative bacterial abundance (16S) of 7 genera across 12 mine water sites and one natural hot spring in the South Wales Coalfield at three times of year.

What do you do when three of your mine water sites are dominated by a pair of cooccurring SOB, while all other sites are dominated by a pair of cooccurring FeOB and the pattern can’t be explained by any of the measured variables? You start digging! doi.org/10.1093/fems...

Why should we preserve glaciers? Newcastle University experts explain why glaciers are vital and how we can help preserve them, marking World Water Day and the first World Day for Glaciers.

It's International Year of Glacier Preservation and the inaugural World Glacier Day. But why should we preserve these glaciers? from.ncl.ac.uk/why-should-w....

The image shows a snow-covered mountain range at night, with a dark sky filled with stars. The text reads: “Glaciers are critical to life.” The UN Environment Programme logo is positioned in the upper right corner.

It’s the first-ever #WorldGlaciersDay!

Glaciers are critical to life, yet climate changes causes them to disappear at an alarming rate.

#ClimateAction is key to protecting them & supporting those who rely on glaciers. www.un.org/en/observanc...

On this first-ever World Glacier Day, we are reminded of an undeniable reality: the glaciers of the #HinduKushHimalaya (HKH) region—our planet’s “Third Pole”—are melting at an alarming rate.

This is a venn diagram showing how 69 Trump actions map onto domains covering: undermining democratic institutions; suppressing dissent and media; dismantling social protections; attacking science and education; destabilising the global order. A table version is available here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LZN7QnbSyFfUZJG8Sn1MWpK0VnfBtb0OSyZ1jxP3xBk/edit?usp=sharing

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..."

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Beautiful😍

It looks like a great exhibition😍

The idea of renaming "Greenland" to "Red, White and Blueland" must have come from our 2020 Science paper where we (Ben Smith and 14 others) used NASA's ICESat and ICESat-2 laser altimetry to show how much the ice sheet surface went up or down in 16 years.

The Polar Impact Mentorship Initiative invites you to join us! During this panel, we will consider "successful" collaborations through multiple lenses and embrace the benefits of engaging with interdisciplinary research groups, policy and decision makers, and Indigenous and local community members.

Hi, It sounds really cool. Is it limited to US students or international students can apply for it?

Hi everyone! CryoCommunity is now on BlueSky! Please share us around so everyone who has switched over to this app can find us! Thank you! ❄️
