3、for boats to carry on illegally at night.In 2006, a desperate Tuscan government dropped concrete blocks into the sea to interrupt the trawlers. Fanciulli said they didnt work as they were too far apart and the nets simply dragged between them. He then began to wonder: what if, instead of dropping co

What he found was a colorful mix,from black and gray to green, purple and brown, with neon (霓虹)blue melt streams cutting through the ice. The rainbow colours Cook encountered are cre
11、ated by a collection of tiny life forms that reproduce on the surface of the ice sheet. Biodiversity is usually considered a good thing, but in this case the abundance of tiny life is speeding up ice melting, and likely causing global sea level to rise faster than scientists have predicted.Cook says
12、 the tiny life forms he studies are contributing to the problem. One of these organisms is an alga (海 藻)that grows in the thin layer of water on the surface of the ice. It produces a purple-brown pigment (色素)which acts like a natural sunscreen”, says Cook, protecting the algae from the full force of

In some localized areas, the algae boosted melting by up to 26%.Glacier algae are not a new phe
