The biomarkers and their stable isotopes show that methane was oxidized by aerobic bacteria, causing ocean acidification and CO2 emission from the Arctic Ocean during PETM. #PETM #IODP #biomarkers #methane #CO2

PAST🌎CLIMATE INFORMS OUR FUTURE🚨 #Biomarker evidence from #IODP seafloor sediments drilled by @TheJR unlocks #PETM climate story's secret - Arctic methane cycling intensified CO2 emissions when the #ArcticOcean was warmer🔥fresher💦, echoing the trajectory we face today

The Perseverance team discovered the rock formation in an ancient, now-dry riverbed in Jezero Crater, and instruments revealed that it's composed of clay and silt. On Earth, these are excellent preservers of past microbial life.

The upgrade allows Alvin to reach depths of up to 6,500 meters, surpassing its previous limit of 4,500 meters, and puts roughly 99% of the ocean floor at reach for research. eos.org/science-update… Read more in the June issue of Eos: bit.ly/Eos-Jun2025

Lecture: Exploring Europa with Europa Clipper Dr. Walter Kiefer Director of the Lunar and Planetary Institute. A vast ocean lies beneath Europa's icy shell and there is scientific evidence that the ingredients for life may exist on Europa right now. This event will take place on Tuesday, June 17, at 7:30 p.m. CT (8:30 p.m. ET/ 6:30 p.m. MT/ 5:30 p.m. PT). lpi.usra.edu/features/2025/… #astrobiology

Join us for a hybrid presentation discussing NASA’s Europa Clipper mission and its 1.8-billion-mile journey to Jupiter’s moon, Europa. This event will take place on Tuesday, June 17, at 7:30 p.m. CT, at the LPI and streamed on YouTube. More information: ow.ly/2lCy50VMkz8
