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 ...

Penguin poop may be playing a key role in keeping climate change in check over Antarctica, new research published May 22 finds. Specifically, ammonia released from penguin poop (aka guano) may help to ...

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 ...

The foul stench of penguin poop sets Antarctic krill on edge. In lab experiments, the mere scent of penguin droppings — or guano — sent krill scrambling for escape, researchers report March 20 in ...
