There is no shortage of penguin poop in Antarctica. In fact, you can see it from space, if you know where to look. Researchers often use satellite observations to study Adélie penguin populations and ...

Cow burps may contribute to climate change—but it turns out penguin droppings may do the reverse. New research shows that ammonia released from penguin colonies via their guano could actually help ...

Ammonia from the birds’ guano can mix with other gases and form clouds, potentially cooling Earth’s surface and preserving Antarctic ice, a new study suggests. There is one group that is doing their ...

The link between clouds and penguin poop is not an obvious one but it has important implications for climate change. New research has revealed the cloud-forming properties of penguin guano (poop) on ...

Penguin poop that is visible from space helped a scientist discover four new colonies of emperor penguins — a species threatened by extinction. NBC News reported on Wednesday that the discovery, made ...

As we continue to find ways to combat climate change, it’s nice to be reminded of what all is helping. For example, the world’s largest single coral was discovered just last year. Now, we’re learning ...

Penguins might be doing more for the planet than we thought when it comes to fighting climate change. According to new research, the clouds around Antarctica could be fueled by penguin poop.

New research shows that penguin guano in Antarctica is an important source of ammonia aerosol particles that help drive the formation and persistence of low clouds, which cool the climate by ...

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen discovered that feces from king penguins emits a lot of laughing gas. Large amounts of laughing gas or nitrous oxide is released via their poop due to ...
