And we also ask for the rest of the world to support israel to stand with us because there is no time. Protesters also took over the streets ofjerusalem, including outside prime minister netanyahu s office. 0ur middle east correspondent lucy williamson reports now from jerusalem. Hamas would protect them as assets, the argument went. These younger, fitter hostages were the ones who would survive. Instead, israel s army says they were shot by hamas in a tunnel under rafah as israeli forces battled above them. Almog seroussi, alexander lobanov, 0ri danino, eden yerushalmi, whose last words to her sister were, they ve caught me. And hersh goldberg polin, a 23 year old us israeli citizen, and carmel gat, a therapist who was described by other hostages as their guardian angel. Carmel s family said she and hersh were due to be released in a deal outlined in july. Her cousin today inconsolable. It s too late for us. It s too late for carmel. I will never hug her again. But 101 people can stil
Intertidal, a diary on Chennai s coast, wetlands, and climate, evolved from personal observation to a public resource. It explores the interplay of nature, activism, and self, offering meditative reflections for all readers.
In other Nordic Aquafarms-related developments, the Maine Public Utilities Commission invites comments on its reopened Belfast Water District case to sell water resource land and the public reacts to the
Coastal wetlands are long-term carbon sinks capable of sequestering carbon for millennia. However, for coastal wetlands to have a net cooling effect on the atmosphere, their carbon storage must exceed their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Meanwhile, the conditions that facilitate carbon sequestration favour the production of several potent GHGs, including methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N₂O). The direction and magnitude of these fluxes may be modulated by multiple environmental drivers, including temperature, salinity, and inundation dynamics. While there is increasing understanding of coastal wetland CO2 fluxes, little research has been conducted on the drivers of CH4 and N₂O, particularly within the Australian context. In summer 2022 and winter 2023, soil-atmosphere fluxes were analysed via Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy using 12 chambers installed over an elevation gradient spanning mangrove, lower saltmarsh, upper saltmarsh and swamp oak forest ecosystems at To
Warmer, more acidified water increases stress in a species of limpet in Alaska’s Kachemak Bay, a University of Alaska Fairbanks graduate student has found. Shelby Bacus’ discovery, along with her ongoing study of Bering Sea crabs, adds to scientific understanding of how much environmental change marine species can tolerate.
