Sensor-clad seals are tracking Antarctic ocean change in real time

The elephant seal can dive to depths of 2,400 meters, making it the perfect animal to collect data on melting Antarctic ice shelves.By strapping monitoring devices to the animals, which can weigh up to 3,000kg, researchers have been able to show that freshwater from the ice shelves is suppressing th...
