Study Warns Saltwater Intrusion Threatens Global Coastal Groundwater by 2100
A NASA-DOD study indicates that by 2100, 77% of global coastal aquifers will face saltwater intrusion due to rising sea levels and reduced groundwater recharge. This phenomenon, caused by shifting fresh and saltwater dynamics, threatens water quality, agriculture, and infrastructure. Low-lying regions, including Southeast Asia, the U.S. Eastern Sea...

Dorset's Fossil Forest: A Jurassic Landscape Preserved by Microbial Fossilisation
The Fossil Forest in Dorset, England, preserves tree stumps from the late Jurassic period through unique microbial fossilisation. Found along the Jurassic Coast, these remains showcase the ancient Protocupressinoxylon cypress species and offer insight into prehistoric ecosystems. Rising sea levels submerged the forest, but microbes encased the root...

Polar Bears in Alaska Face Rising Pathogen Threats Due to Climate Change
Polar bears in the Chukchi Sea are increasingly exposed to pathogens like Toxoplasma gondii, brucellosis, and canine distemper due to warming climates. Researchers revealed a significant rise in pathogen antibodies in polar bears since the 1990s, linking this trend to reduced sea ice, altered diets, and human interaction. The findings raise concern...
