Shocking satellite image shows rapid ‘greening’ in Antarctica: ‘The risk here is clear’
The area is warming at a rate so rapid that the frozen region’s green vegetation has grown tenfold in the past four decades.
Scientists looked at images from space to see how fast Antarctica is turning green. Here’s what they found
Parts of icy Antarctica are turning green with plant life as the region is gripped by extreme heat events, new research shows, sparking concerns about the changing landscape on this vast continent.
Antarctic 'greening' at dramatic rate, satellite data show
Vegetation cover across the Antarctic Peninsula has increased more than 10-fold over the last four decades, new research shows.
Antarctica Isn’t Supposed to Be This Green
Antarctica is turning green at an alarming rate as events of extreme heat have reshaped the continent’s landscape over the past few decades. Using satellite data, a team of scientists captured the dramatic increase in vegetation across the Antarctic Peninsula.
Greening of Antarctica shows how climate change affects the frozen continent
But since then, the Antarctic Peninsula has warmed rapidly, and a new study shows that mosses, along with some lichen, liverworts and associated algae, have colonized more than 4.6 square miles, an area nearly four times the size of New York’s Central Park.
Scientists sound climate alarm as Antarctica turns green
As plant cover continues to advance rapidly across miles of what was once Antarctic ice, scientists are sounding the alarm on climate change and global warming.
