🧊 Arctic permafrost carbon mostly sinks, not floats

A new study suggests most carbon from thawing Arctic permafrost does not become greenhouse gas. Researchers at AWI examined the seafloor off a Canadian Arctic island near Herschel Island. Up to 0.02 gigatons enter the sea annually, with potential rises of 70 to 150 per cent by 2100. The majority of this carbon settles into the seabed rather than entering the active ocean cycle. The team will now explore the broader ecological effects as part of the 2027 Arctic Pulse campaign. 🧊

🐦 8 ways to help Australia's wildlife vs bird flu

The deadly H5N1 bird flu has now spread to resident Australian birds, posing a major threat to native mammals. Death rates in poultry and some wild birds are reported between 75-100%, with expected fatalities in the thousands or millions.

Eight specific actions include tackling predators, securing insurance populations, and exploring vaccination options. Community involvement and expanded research are crucial steps to help mitigate the virus's impact. 😥

⚛️ Spent Fuel Still Emits Antineutrinos After Shutdown

Scientists successfully measured antineutrinos emanating from spent nuclear fuel. This detection took place at a research facility, confirming ongoing emissions post-reactor operation. The measurements were taken on a specific date, though the article does not provide the exact numerical data. This finding is important because it shows nuclear decay processes continue even when the reactor is offline. Further studies will analyze these persistent emissions to better understand nuclear material safety.

🌕 SpaceX debris hitting the Moon soon 🚀

A piece of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is set to crash into the Moon early Wednesday morning. This four metric ton object, from a January 2025 lunar lander mission, is heading toward Einstein Crater on the Moon's western limb. The impact is scheduled for around 2:35 a.m. ET, reaching 5,400 miles per hour. The trajectory shift occurred because the mission needed high thrust, leaving the stage in space. NASA and SpaceX are discussing ways to prevent similar future space junk impacts.

👶 New baby girl arrives at Ammathottil facility

A baby girl was admitted to the Ammathottil electronic cradle on Tuesday morning. The infant, weighing 2.57 kg, was the 1000th to be received since the facility opened on November 14, 2002, and was named Sahasra. Council general secretary G.L. Arun Gopi mentioned plans to install high-tech cradles in Idukki, Kannur, and Wayanad districts. Some existing Ammathottils, like the one in Ernakulam, will be upgraded from non-functional status. The overall goal is to improve infant care infrastructure across various districts. 👶

🦠 WHO asks for help against Congo's big Ebola outbreak

The World Health Organization is urgently asking for increased support to fight the ongoing Ebola outbreak. This major epidemic is currently happening in the Democratic Republic of Congo. As of Tuesday, 3,802 cases and 1,707 deaths have been recorded in the region. The outbreak is mainly concentrated in Ituri province, which holds nearly 90% of the cases. WHO is monitoring over 17,000 potential contacts while trials continue for treatments and vaccines. 🦠

📦 Wooden crates are the main woodwasp risk

A new study found that wooden packaging was the biggest pathway for woodwasps to cross borders internationally. Researchers analyzed 2,562 interceptions recorded by US inspectors from 1952 to 2020 across three nations. Nearly 98% of US interceptions before reporting changes were linked to wooden pallets and crates. This shows that transport materials, not always the cargo, pose the major biosecurity threat. The findings stress the importance of international rules like ISPM 15 for safe trade. 📦
