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.
Antarctica turns green faster than predicted, alarming experts
Antarctica is greening faster than scientists predicted. According to researchers, satellite image analyses show that the green areas in Antarctica are ten times more extensive than 40 years ago. The expansion of green areas in Antarctica is currently ten times larger than it was 40 years ago,
Greening of Antarctica shows how climate change affects the frozen continent
The findings, published Friday in Nature Geoscience, based on a meticulous analysis of Landsat images from 1986 to 2021, show that the greening trend is distinct from natural variability and that it has accelerated by 30 percent since 2016, fast enough to cover nearly 75 football fields per year.
The antarctic peninsula greening at rapid rate due to climate change
The Antarctic Peninsula is experiencing an extreme transformation as vegetation cover has multiplied over the past four decades
Antarctica Isn’t Supposed to Be This Green
The effects of the changing climate will continue to impact Antarctica’s growing green landscape. “As these ecosystems become more established—and the climate continues to warm—it’s likely that the extent of greening will increase,” Oliver Bartlett, a researcher at the University of Hertfordshire, and a co-author of the study, said in a statement.
Antarctica is greening at an unprecedented rate
Greening of Antarctica alters local ecosystems and signals broader climate change effects worldwide. Researchers warn of ecological shifts.
Antarctic 'greening' at dramatic rate
Vegetation cover across the Antarctic Peninsula has increased more than tenfold over the last four decades, new research shows.
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 Is Going Green—but Not in a Good Way
Although Antarctica doesn’t have good soil, these mossy pioneer plants could create richer habitats that could be ripe for invasive species to take hold of the continent. Filled with dense vegetation,
