Opinion | How the melting glaciers are unlocking ancient superbugs we’ve never seen before
3+ day, 36+ min ago (271+ words) Do not mistake glaciers for mere frozen lakes. They are time capsules holding Earth’s history. Snow that fell thousands of years ago compacts into ice; in doing so, it traps whatever was suspended in the atmosphere at the time: dust,…...
Ancient methane is escaping from beneath Arctic glaciers as their beds thaw
4+ day, 5+ hour ago (1027+ words) Methane in Arctic glacier rivers on Svalbard came from ancient shale, not microbes, and the yearly total is tiny next to what people emit. A glacier melts from the top, and the water runs off in rivers barely above freezing....
Greenland ice reveals a pollution mystery that began after 1990
4+ day, 5+ hour ago (798+ words) Greenland ice reveals a surprising shift in industrial pollution after 1990 that could help explain recent Arctic warming. Buried deep in the Greenland ice sheet is a chemical diary of a century of industrial pollution, and the entries after 1990 don’t add…...
French, Russian, and German researchers thawed sediment from nine sites of Siberian and Kamchatkan permafrost and revived thirteen previously undescribed viruses, the oldest of them from ground beneath a Yakutian lake bed dated to more than 48,500 years, and the reason every one of the thirteen can infect nothing but amoebae is a decision the team made before the first sample went into the dish
4+ day, 13+ hour ago (33+ words) Scientists resurrected viruses frozen for 48,500 years, but deliberately chose to study only those that infect single-celled organisms—a safety decision that reveals how researchers navigate the ethics of reviving ancient pathogens....
Antarctica is home to a treasure trove of microbes found nowhere else on the planet
4+ day, 13+ hour ago (21+ words) Biologists have uncovered a unique ensemble of Arthrobacter in Antarctic soil that are unlike microbes found anywhere else on the planet....
Taking water samples from a glacial river on Svalbard
5+ day, 15+ hour ago (52+ words) (IMAGE) EurekAlert! Taking water samples from a glacial river on Svalbard Credit must be given to the creator. More on this News Release New study raises concerns about climate feedback loop as melting Arctic glaciers flush ancient methane from rocks…...
Researchers study oil-eating microbes off Hudson Bay coast | Spare News | pentictonherald.ca
5+ day, 12+ hour ago (421+ words) A team of Inuit and southern researchers is using the water off Chesterfield Inlet as a living laboratory as they study naturally occurring microbes that feed on oil residue in the ocean. Run out of the Centre for Observation Science…...

These microbes in Antarctica don’t live anywhere else
1+ week, 15+ hour ago (534+ words) Notably, these are specific microbes, not all microbes in Antarctica. But it shows that some life in Antarctica can be different from the rest of the world. The researchers published the new peer-reviewed findings in Proceedings of the National Academy…...
