Fellow bryology community! Does anyone have contact with bryology groups from Sweden and Finland to indicate? #bryology #bryophytes #mosses #arctic

"We believe that the groundwaters gurgling up in front of #glaciers on #Svalbard are emitting up to 2,310 tons of methane per year," says Gabrielle Kleber, @UiTNorgesarktis.
🚨 That's equivalent to nearly 150,000 barrels of oil consumed.

Isn't the ozone hole closing? Yes – but it's lasted longer than normal in recent years.
As @Antarcticmoss (@UOW) + colleagues (@UCNZ) explain, that means Antarctica's plants and animals are being hit with much higher UV levels in summer. theconversation.com/longer-l…

🐧🐧🐧 Happy #WorldPenguinDay! 🐧🐧🐧
#DYK that there is a place called Penguin Island in Antarctica 🇦🇶 ❓
It has been declared an “Important Bird Area” because it is home to a wide range of seabirds and, of course, to penguin colonies 🐧

Scientists thrilled but confused by world-first sighting of a polar bear in Antarctic 🐻❄️
The bear showed a peaceful attitude to local penguins.
Both species face an uncertain future as warming temperatures threaten sea ice habitats. Is this the start of a new polar partnership?

#DYK that in #Antarctica 🇦🇶, there is a place called Penguin Island ❓
Also known as Georges Island, it is rich in biodiversity, especially of birds and penguins 🐧🪽
This is why it has been declared an Important Bird Area #IBA by @BirdLife_News

🇦🇶 Chile dio a conocer la detección de casos positivos de Influenza Aviar de Alta Patogenicidad (H5N1) en pingüinos, cormoranes y skuas en la Antártica. Hallazgo realizado durante la LX Expedición Científica Antártica (ECA 60) organizada por el INACH.

Icebergs at sight! Crossing the Drake Passage in February on board of the Brazilian Navy Polar Vessel, Almirante Maximiano H41! #Antarctica #ProAntar #Antartica #TioMax – at Brasília, Brazil
What about this sunset at Baía Esperanza? This place is located on Trinity Peninsula, the northermost part of the Antarctic Peninsula. Such a breathtaking experience! No filters are needed here!

HPAI confirmed in skuas at Primavera base on the Antarctic Peninsula. Sadly, not unexpected.
Great work by the Spanish teams here, including the capacity to collect samples and PCR in Antarctica.

Despite the short time and usual challenging climate conditions, we had another great experience sampling mosses in #Antarctica this year! Our first fieldwork took place in Crater Lake (photo), an Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) in Deception Island.

My plant and moss colleagues! Has anyone faced cellophane disk cracking after spore germimation/protoplast regeneration? I am facing this issue while transferring disks to fresh media. They simply crack!
