Antarctic Meteorites Threatened by Climate Warming, Study Finds
A new study published in Nature Climate Change reveals that climate warming is causing many extraterrestrial rocks to be lost from the surface of Antarctica by melting into the ice sheet. The research predicts that approximately 24% of meteorites will be lost by 2050, potentially rising to approximately 76% by 2100 under a high-emissions scenario. The findings raise concerns about the future of Antarctic meteorites and the potential loss of valuable extraterrestrial rocks due to climate warming.
