A team of scientists has made a significant discovery in southern France, uncovering nearly 10-meter-long titanosaur skeleton in a forest. Meanwhile, NASA has set a date for astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to return to Earth.
However, the real excitement lies in the research on climate change. Rising sea levels threaten many territories, especially islands, due to melting at the poles. Scientists have been analyzing the impact of this phenomenon, revealing that a decrease in ocean crust production between six and 15 million years ago caused sea levels to drop by up to 35 percent.
The study found that an increase in seafloor subsidence coincides with the amount of water that can melt across the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. This discovery also highlights significant changes in ocean chemistry. The researchers discovered over 60 additional meters gained on the seabed, underlining other phenomena indirectly linked to this phenomenon, such as decreased volcanic emissions and global cooling.
While the findings seem promising, NASA has confirmed a date for astronauts Wilmore and Williams’ return to Earth. The article concludes that this discovery sheds light on the important role of the deep sea in understanding climate change and its impacts on our planet.
