The link between clouds and penguin poop is not an obvious one but it has important implications for climate change. New ...

New research shows that penguin guano in Antarctica is an important source of ammonia aerosol particles that help drive the ...

Penguins could be playing a crucial role in stabilizing the climate in Antarctica when they go No. 2, according to new ...

Scientists say they’ve seen ammonia emitted from penguin poop result in the creation of fog. The clouds created may be ...

Antarctica's wilderness is warming rapidly under the weight of human-driven climate change, yet a new study points to an ...

However, their impact varies depending on what lies beneath them. Over ice, clouds might trap heat instead of reflecting it.

Penguin droppings release ammonia that forms clouds, affecting Antarctica's climate and potentially slowing warming.

When the wind blew from the direction of the colony, ammonia levels spiked, sometimes reaching 1,000 times above normal ...

According to the paper, published in Nature Communications Earth & Environment, the penguin droppings created a concentration of ammonia 1000 times higher than usual. Even after the penguins migrated ...

Huge colonies of penguins in Antarctica fill the air with ammonia, which stabilises particles in the atmosphere that allow climate-cooling clouds to form ...

The first-of-its-kind footage, taken in January 2024 via drone, captures a rare event that may become more common as sea ice declines and penguins are forced to adapt. Emperor penguin chicks jump ...
