Ammonia in penguin and seabird poop could help increase the formation of clouds. Penguins could be playing a crucial role in stabilizing the climate in Antarctica when they go No. 2, according to new ...

Antarctic researchers discovered four new colonies of the near-threatened emperor penguin species via satellite images of the birds' poop Wolfgang Kaehler/LightRocket/Getty Penguin poop that is ...

The link between clouds and penguin poop is not an obvious one but it has important implications for climate change. New research has revealed the cloud-forming properties of penguin guano (poop) on ...

There is no shortage of penguin poop in Antarctica. In fact, you can see it from space, if you know where to look. Researchers often use satellite observations to study Adélie penguin populations and ...

Satellite images from outer space have been repetitively used as a means to identify and track penguin colonies in vulnerable and remote areas. A scientist believes he may have discovered four new ...

Penguin poop may be playing a key role in keeping climate change in check over Antarctica, new research published May 22 finds. Specifically, ammonia released from penguin poop (aka guano) may help to ...

Penguins’ poop may be making Antarctica cloudier — and helping mitigate the regional impacts of climate change. Gases emitted from the birds’ guano are supplying key chemical ingredients to form the ...

Climate change has melted an estimated 3 trillion tons of ice in Antarctica, contributing to sea level rise, disrupting ecosystems, and—because ice-free oceans absorb solar heat—ratcheting up global ...
