U.S. funding cuts threaten Antarctic research, endangering global climate monitoring and worsening sea level rise risks.
Antarctica’s critical role in global climate regulation is under threat as U.S. funding cuts to polar science, including proposed reductions to the National Science Foundation and the decommissioning of the icebreaker Nathaniel B. Palmer, disrupt vital research.
Scientists warn that melting glaciers like Denman and Thwaites could raise sea levels significantly, while declining sea ice accelerates warming through a feedback loop.
Despite ongoing international collaboration among nations including Australia, Japan, and France, funding instability, job cuts at CSIRO, and the loss of NASA’s long-term sea ice satellite data are undermining climate monitoring and forcing researchers to prioritize securing resources over conducting science.
Los recortes de fondos de los Estados Unidos amenazan la investigación antártica, poniendo en peligro el monitoreo climático global y empeorando los riesgos de aumento del nivel del mar.
