Researchers from the University of Washington are studying the impact of changing conditions on sea ice microbes in Antarctica, which are crucial to the region's food web. Meanwhile, a study in Nature Climate reveals that tropical low-income countries are experiencing a disproportionate loss of nutrients from seafood due to higher levels of global warming. Additionally, ancient marine microfossils have linked changes in North Atlantic ocean circulation to sea surface salinity variations in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico over the past 1700 years. Warmer temperatures are also affecting both humans and species in the planktonic community. Antarctic sea ice has reached a record low, and the food and farming industries are costing the global economy over $10 trillion annually due to unhealthy diets, environmental damage, and under-nourishment.

Antarctic Sea Ice Shrinks to “Mind-Blowing” Low https://t.co/ebNuBHuB7q
A study in @NatureClimate examines past and future changes in the availability of four nutrients from seafood and shows disproportionate loss of nutrients in tropical low-income countries, which will be exacerbated by higher levels of global warming. https://t.co/ytKMP2g531 https://t.co/ueJLfwLlTe
Warmer temperatures are stressing humans and species in the planktonic community alike. https://t.co/I0NNrKlmvO
Using ancient marine microfossils, researchers have linked changes in North Atlantic ocean circulation, known to regulate climate patterns, to sea surface salinity variations in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico over the past 1700 years. https://t.co/ZzVtSXWG8j https://t.co/XClHkRse4g
Slight changes to the most remote ecosystems can cause cascading effects around the globe. @UW researchers are looking at the sea ice microbes 🦠, the base of Antarctica's food web, to see how changing conditions will affect them. https://t.co/oHTC4l70sm 📷: Hannah Dawson/UW https://t.co/5P7yxhyeZV
