The Pantanal, recognized as the largest tropical wetland globally, encompasses approximately 153,000 km² primarily in Brazil, with extensions into Bolivia and Paraguay. This vast ecosystem, characterized by a blend of seasonal climates, presents a unique environment for soda lakes — shallow bodies of water defined by their alkaline nature and elevated pH levels often reaching

The ocean is a vast and complex system that plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth’s climate. One of the key elements in ocean circulation that has been largely overlooked is the influence of seamounts. These underwater mountains, reaching heights of thousands of meters, have been found to significantly impact deep sea currents, which
