New map of the seabed reveal more deposits than expected

There are 30 % more sediments on the seabed than previously expected, reveal an update of the map GlobSed. This equates to up to two km of extra land mass over today’s land area.

Exhaust gas is to blame: Ground-level ozone is damaging crops

Exhaust gas emissions have doubled the amount of ground-level ozone. Vegetation is being destroyed. Food production is decreasing. Researchers now fear that the damage is greatest in the Arctic regions.
