CREDIT: Matthew Boyer. Why ammonia? Antarctic ecosystems are under serious threat due to human-driven climate change, with some penguin colonies failing to breed altogether.

In December 2022, Matthew Boyer hopped on an Argentine military plane to one of the more remote habitations on Earth: Marambio Station at the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, where the icy ...

The ammonia from Adélie penguin guano reacts with sulfur-containing gases in the atmosphere to aid in forming clouds, which scientists say may be significant to regulating the climate ...

As the local climate in Antarctica changes and evolves, it will have an influence on climate systems in the rest of the world, Boyer said. The ice, ocean and ecosystems in Antarctica play a ...

At the Marambio Base on the Antarctic Peninsula, researchers led by Matthew Boyer—a doctoral candidate at the University of Helsinki in Finland—measured the concentration of ammonia wafting ...

Antarctica's wilderness is warming rapidly under the weight of human-driven climate change, yet a new study points to an unlikely eco warrier: penguin poop. | TAG24 ...
