China and Russia have started a joint maritime campaign again after about 5 years. The new campaign departed from Vladivostok Port. Research vessel ‘Academic M.A. Laurentayev is doing ‘. The team of 25 scientists involved in this will be engaged in the study of environment, ecology and climate in the deep sea for about 45 days. During this time, both countries will make many types of discoveries in the artic region.

This mission is the first major maritime mission between the two countries after Kovid-19 and is being operated by FIO (First Institute of Oceanography) under the Ministry of Natural Resources of China. According to government claims, the purpose of this campaign is to understand the deep maritime economy. To study the effects of climate change. To conserve marine resources and to forecast natural disasters is to collect data, but in the eyes of experts, this campaign is not so simple. Many experts believe that the real purpose of China and Russia is to discover rare minerals and natural resources and gain control over the northern sea route. Its benefit will be available as help in establishing dominance in future global trade routes.

Which areas in the center of search?
This time the main area of the mission is Bering Sea and the northwest Pacific Ocean. This region is considered geologically rich and here is found on sea level manganese nodules, cobalts and rare meaning metal. At the same time, scientists will also try to find out what the region has experienced from climate change in the last 1.26 lakh years.

Increasing maritime cooperation of China-Russia
This is not the first time that both countries are partnered in marine science, which is as follows:

2009: Chingdao, Joint Maritime Mission in China

2017: Establishment of Joint Ocean Science Research Center

2023: Special sub-committee formation for cooperation of northern sea route

Northern Sea Route that extends 5,600 km from the Arctic coast of Russia, can become a hotspot of the future global market. Arctic ice is melting rapidly due to climate change, causing this route to become smaller and cheaper than the traditional Suez Canal. China and Russia are trying to eliminate the dependence of Western countries on this route and make their business routes free and safe. Because of this, America is seen in tension.

Nasa video: Sea ice, which also protects it from global warming, is gradually decreasing on a large scale. This has been revealed in the research of NASA and National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). NASA has also shared a graphic video of this ice sheet continuously. This video is going to blow the senses.

NASA has also released data along with this video, which suggests that sea ice is melting rapidly on both poles of the earth. According to this, in the last 15 years, the sea ice of millions of square kilometers has disappeared in Arctic and Antarctica.

13 million square kilometers shortage
According to NASA, on March 22 this year, when the marine ice in Arctic should have been at its annual highest level, its volume remained just 5.53 million square miles (143 lakh sq km). This is the lowest winter snow ever. It has fallen below the lowest level of 5.56 million square miles (144 lakh square kilometers) of 2017.

Similarly, till March 1, sea ice in Antarctic was only 764,000 square miles (19.8 lakh sq km). This is equal to the second lowest level recorded so far. It is 30% less than ice of normal 1.10 million square miles (28 lakh square kilometers) in Antarctica before 2010. In recent years, new snow is becoming less. This year’s maximum ice cover was 510,000 square miles (13 lakh square kilometers) less than the average levels between 1981 and 2010.

Almost ice of India’s area disappears
Overall, the total amount of sea ice on the earth has reached the lowest level ever. Globally, snow coverage in mid -February this year has decreased by more than one million square miles (2.5 million square kilometers) from the average before 2010. That is, a large part of sea ice on earth has completely disappeared, which is as much as two-thirds of the area of ​​India.

A snow scientist Lynet Boisart at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, says that we are coming with low ice in this next summer season. This is not a good sign for the future. At the same time, a ice scientist at America’s National Snow and Ice Data Center has said that it is not yet clear whether the end of the snow sheet from the earth is a permanent pattern or it will return to the earlier level in the coming years.
