Glacier Runoff Becomes Less Nutritious as Glaciers Retreat - Eos
Sediment from retreating, land-terminating glaciers contains proportionally fewer micronutrients such as iron and manganese, reducing the glaciers’ value to microorganisms at the base of the food web.

Yesterday, an ash plume could be seen rising from the #HayliGubbi 🌋 #Volcano region. The eruption had stopped earlier, but the ash plume had been sent up into the atmosphere and was moving at a speed of 100-120 km/h toward North #India.
