根据第四段中“As for all sea bird species, there are other threats, such as drift nets, oil spills and rubbish such as plastic in the ocean.(至于所有的海鸟物种,还有其他的威胁,比如漂网、石油泄漏以及海洋中的塑料垃圾)”可知,漂网是造成信天翁死亡的原因之一,但文中并未提及“被漂网捕获的信天翁...
A giant slab of ice bigger than the Spanish island of Majorca has sheared off from the frozen edge of Antarctica into the Weddell Sea, becoming the largest iceberg afloat in the world, the European Space Agency has announced. The newly calved berg, designated A-76 by sci...
“It was the deepest, deep blue hole imaginable; A chasm that fell away deep into the deep, dark blue. It had been forged out of solid rock as caverns, hundreds of thousands of years ago during the last ice age. For eons, water filtered through the rock and into these great stone ca...

(a) Locations of sites in: the Caribbean–St Eustatius (SE); the Atlantic--Ascension Island (AI) and Cape Verde (CV); and the Indian Ocean–Chagos Archipelago (CA). This figure has been created in R57 using the Rworldmap package59. (b) Each point for Chagos Archipelago (in green) ...
Using a whole-watershed approach and a combination of historical, contemporary, modeled and paleolimnological datasets, we show that the High Arctic’s largest lake by volume (Lake Hazen) has succumbed to climate warming with only a ~1 °C relative increase in summer air temperatures. This wa...
This large-scale feature appears to be predictable and explains the strong seasonality in the breeding season of the population. This peak of productivity occurs year after year around the island in January to March, i.e. during the time of highest energy demand for the colony, when birds ...
From sensors in fields to irrigation systems, the project will use advanced climate smart and plant science technology – rarely used to grow cocoa at this scale – as innovations included in this 2,000-hectare cocoa farm on Seram, the largest island in Maluku province in Indonesia. ...
After the hatchlings hatch and enter the sea, they spend several years in the open ocean before recruiting to coastal habitats along the Queensland coast, at which point they show strong fidelity to the same foraging area [17, 18]. At the onset of sexual maturity (∼25+ years), female...
The caldera collapse of Deception Island Volcano, Antarctica, was comparable in scale to some of the largest eruptions on Earth over the last several millennia. Despite its magnitude and potential for far-reaching environmental effects, the age of this event has never been established, with estimate...
