Tuesday, March 5, 2024

LOS ANGELES, March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Viking® (www.viking.com) today announced its expedition team supported the discovery of a new colony of chinstrap penguins not previously known to science on Diaz Rock, near Astrolabe Island, in Antarctica. The finding took place in January 2024 when Viking's expedition vessel, the Viking Octantis®, visited Astrolabe Island, a three-mile-long island, located in the Bransfield Strait of the Trinity Peninsula in Antarctica. Astrolabe Island is home to a colony of chinstrap penguins that had not been surveyed since 1987. During the visit, Viking's scientific partner, Oceanites, the leading field research entity in Antarctic penguin monitoring, conducted a visual and thermal aerial survey. The fieldwork documented the first survey in nearly 40 years of the known chinstrap penguin colony of Astrolabe Island and in the process, discovered the additional colony on Diaz Rock. Oceanites will share additional details from the survey in a scientific paper to follow in due course.

The field trial was conducted by Eurofins Group, a global leader in contract research services, as well as development collaborator, Gaia AgroSolutions. The NFT bio-fertilizer is to be marketed as an “organic mineral” product for use in corn under the brand name “Maoz™” in Brazil.

From raising the global sea level to crushing life on the seafloor -- here's why you should care about icebergs

Retrieved on:

But their significance extends far beyond posing a risk to ships and other offshore structures.

Key Points: 
  • But their significance extends far beyond posing a risk to ships and other offshore structures.
  • This inland ice will then move faster and can rapidly release new icebergs, which displace ocean water and contribute to sea level rise.
  • The collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet alone could raise the global sea level by 3.2 metres.
  • If the North Atlantic Conveyor pump is significantly affected, the northern hemisphere could be plunged into sub-zero, glacial conditions.

‘Scouring’ the seabed

    • Yet their undersides regularly come into contact with the seabed, gouging out sediment on the seafloor to form “scour” marks.
    • Research that I co-authored in 2016 on iceberg scouring in East Greenland, found that icebergs can disturb sediment up to several metres below the seabed.
    • Icebergs can also crush plants and animals when they collide with the seabed.

Ocean fertilisers (and polluters)

    • These icebergs fertilise the ocean by supplying important nutrients to marine organisms such as phytoplankton.
    • One study on icebergs in the Southern Ocean found that these blooms can be up to ten times the length of the iceberg and can persist for more than a month.
    • Blooms in the wake of icebergs off Antarctica have the capacity to absorb up to 40 million tonnes of carbon each year.
    • These include soot, nuclear fallout, potentially toxic elements such as arsenic, mercury and lead, nitrogen-based contaminants such as fertilisers and animal waste, microplastics and persistent organic pollutants such as pesticides and solvents.
