Many scientists agree that we have already reached this 1.5 degree target, and it is likely to get hotter, with flow-on impacts on Antarctic ice melting,” climate scientist Dr. Taimoor Sohail said.

The more of these measurements we collect over time, the more we'll learn about Antarctic marine microbial communities, their interactions and susceptibility to climate change. "At the same time ...
