A digitally edited image of a great white shark swimming in the ocean, framed through the fossilized jaws of a megalodon. The perspective emphasizes the massive size difference between the extinct megalodon and modern sharks. The background features a school of fish, adding depth to the underwater scene and reinforcing the contrast between past and present marine predators

The Real Reason Megalodon Got So Gigantic (and Then Went Extinct)

A digitally edited image of an underwater coral reef scene features a watercolor-style shark swimming among vibrant orange and black fish. The coral reef is rich in detail, showcasing various types of coral formations. The mix of realistic marine life and the artistic shark creates a striking contrast, blending art with nature in a visually engaging way

A digitally edited image of a massive Antarctic iceberg floating in the ocean, with stormy clouds and distant mountains in the background. Superimposed on the iceberg is a cartoon-style pipe system, symbolizing the concept of “Antarctic plumbing”—possibly referring to the movement of meltwater beneath ice sheets or human-engineered solutions related to polar melt. The image blends natural elements with industrial symbolism

The Antarctic Plumbing Problem That’s Speeding Up Ice Melt
A digitally edited image of a kelp forest underwater scene, with several sharks swimming in the background. In the foreground, two distinct sets of jaws are overlaid: on the left, a traditional shark jaw with sharp triangular teeth, and on the right, a unique jaw with flat, plate-like structures resembling those of a durophagous (hard-prey-eating) species. The image contrasts different feeding adaptations in marine predators.

Forgotten Shark Jaws Are Now a Goldmine for Ocean Science
A digitally created image of a kelp forest underwater with clear blue water in the background. In the foreground, a large, stylized, monochrome illustration of a sea urchin shell is superimposed, contrasting with the natural colors of the kelp forest. The image visually represents the impact of sea urchins on marine ecosystems, highlighting their role in kelp forest decline and the need for conservation effort

Antarctica has a hidden plumbing problem. And it’s speeding up ice melt faster than expected. Here’s what scientists just found: • Subglacial rivers shift over time → Ice flow accelerates. • Water exits in the worst spots → Melts glaciers from below. • Most models ignore this → Sea level rise is underestimated. Sometimes it’s what’s under the ice that matters most. Read the story in the Link in the bio
Forgotten shark jaws just changed ocean science. Forgotten shark jaws just changed ocean science. Decades-old specimens are now revealing shark diets. Here’s why this matters: • Chemicals didn’t ruin the data → Isotopes still readable. • Museum jaws = hidden archives → Rare insights unlocked. • We can study the past → And plan better for the future. Old jaws. New science. Big impact. https://open.substack.com/pub/climateages/p/forgotten-shark-jaws-are-now-a-goldmine?r=2hlav&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
Can overfishing help save an ecosystem? Australia Can overfishing help save an ecosystem? Australia is using it to fight invasive sea urchins. Here’s why it works: • Urchins destroy kelp forests → Marine life vanishes. • No natural predators → Populations explode unchecked. • Fishing keeps numbers below the tipping point → Kelp can recover. A surprising conservation strategy—backed by science. Full story in the link in bio.
