The latest research by Lindsey Swierk, a scientist at Binghamton University, has found that a small, semi-aquatic species of lizard, now claims the title of ‘world’s smallest scuba diver.’
In 2021, the world saw a rare and powerful weather event: two major cyclones, Seroja and Odette, collided and caused severe destruction in different parts of the world. Though they started in separate oceans, they came together off the western coast of Australia, creating devastating effects. This anomalous occurrence showed how unpredictable and powerful tropical storms can become when they interact.
For most coral reefs along the coast of Queensland, climate change is an existential threat. As the temperature increases, coral bleaching begins, and the bright and colourful underwater world slowly fades to black and white. The Great Barrier Reef houses thousands of fish, marine mammals, and algae. But as marine temperature rises, coral bleaching intensifies, and our marine wildlife heads toward grave danger.

It is the largest in the Northern Hemisphere, covering nearly 80% of Greenland's land area and spanning over 1.7 million square kilometers. However, this ice sheet is rapidly thinning, alarming scientists.
