Similar rare earth mineralization was first noted in modern basin pelagic sediments found at various locations on the Pacific seafloor.

Key Points: 
  • Similar rare earth mineralization was first noted in modern basin pelagic sediments found at various locations on the Pacific seafloor.
  • The largest and most important of these rare earth seafloor metal precipitate deposits is known as the Minamitorishima deposit in the western Pacific.
  • NASM’s rare earth targets are found in a unique and very specific paleo basin sedimentary facies containing significant stratiform rare earth mineralization.
  • The nearly identical host rock lithologies, mineralogy and rare earth grades between NASM’s paleo basin pelagic sediment rare earth targets and the world-class Minamitorishima Pacific seafloor deposit is strong evidence supporting the discovery of a significant new rare earth deposit type.

Five jellyfish species you may encounter more often in UK's warming seas

While scuba diving off the south-west coast of England this summer, I was lucky to encounter several different species of jellyfish in just a matter of weeks.

Key Points: 
  • While scuba diving off the south-west coast of England this summer, I was lucky to encounter several different species of jellyfish in just a matter of weeks.
  • The good news for fellow jellyfish enthusiasts is that both the abundance and diversity of jellyfish around the UK may be on the rise.
  • Meanwhile, there is evidence suggesting that jellyfish blooms (where the jellyfish population rises suddenly) are increasing in certain regions worldwide, including the UK.
  • So, here are five common jellyfish species that people may well see more of as the seas around the UK continue to warm.

1. Compass jellyfish


    Compass jellyfish are easy to identify by the dark stripes on their pale bells. These jellyfish can grow to 30cm in diameter, boast long tentacles and are a favourite food for turtles. This species is often the most commonly reported jellyfish in UK waters. In 2022, almost one-quarter of the UK jellyfish sightings that were reported to the Marine Conservation Society were compass jellies. Compass jellyfish have a very painful sting.

2. Moon jellyfish


    Moon jellies (Aurita aurita) have a distinctive appearance. They have relatively short tentacles and are transparent with four purple rings on the top of their bells. They can grow to 40cm in diameter. These jellyfish can be found almost anywhere in the world, but they are most commonly encountered in coastal waters. Moon jellies have only a mild sting that most people don’t react to.

3. Barrel jellyfish

    • Barrel jellyfish (Rhizostoma pulmo) are huge compared to most of the other jellyfish species found in the UK.
    • Barrel jellies have a relatively mild sting and are even eaten in some parts of the world, including Asia.

4. Lion’s mane jellyfish


    Lion’s mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) are usually around 50cm in diameter, though they can grow to around 2 metres. These jellies are reddish brown in colour and have both thin tentacles and thick frilly arms. Due to their size, only young lion’s mane jellies are eaten by fish and turtles. Lion’s mane jellyfish have a painful sting.

5. Mauve stinger

    • Mauve stingers (Pelagica noctiluca) are small – less than 10cm in diameter – and a beautiful pink or mauve colour.
    • They glow in the dark and can form aggregations, known as a “smack”, that are so large they can clog fishing nets.
    • Not only do their tentacles sting; their bells can also sting too, which is uncommon among jellyfish.

As Antarctic sea ice continues its dramatic decline, we need more measurements and much better models to predict its future

A layer of frozen seawater that surrounds the Antarctic continent, sea ice cycles from maximum coverage in September to a minimum in February.

Key Points: 
  • A layer of frozen seawater that surrounds the Antarctic continent, sea ice cycles from maximum coverage in September to a minimum in February.
  • Some scientists have suggested this year could mark a regime shift for Antarctic sea ice.
  • The consequences could be far-reaching for Earth’s climate, because sea ice keeps the planet cooler by reflecting solar energy back into the atmosphere and insulating the ocean.
  • The annual freeze-thaw cycle of Antarctic sea ice is one of Earth’s largest seasonal changes, but is a major challenge for climate models to predict accurately.

Why we couldn’t predict this

    • Satellite records show a small increasing trend in Antarctic sea ice extent from 2007 to 2016, but this was followed by a decrease since then.
    • Global climate models predicted that Antarctic sea ice extent should have been diminishing for all of that period, which is at odds with the observations.
    • Many research groups around the world have investigated the reasons why models have failed to accurately simulate Antarctic sea ice.

Changes in sea ice thickness

    • The data are mostly from land-fast sea ice, which is the sea ice attached to land or ice shelves.
    • We need both sea ice area and thickness to determine sea ice volume, which is important for knowing the overall impact of climate change on sea ice.

Antarctic storms

    • McMurdo Sound is a region of the Antarctic coastline in the Ross Sea where both New Zealand (Scott Base) and the USA (McMurdo Station) have Antarctic bases.
    • In 2022, multiple storms kept blowing out McMurdo Sound sea ice during winter.
    • This thinner-than-usual sea ice caused major disruptions in Antarctic operations for New Zealand and other countries in 2022.
    • We received logistical support for Antarctic field work from Antarctica New Zealand, and high performance computing resources through NeSI.
