Climate change has many culprits, from agriculture to transportation to energy production. Now, add another: the deep ocean ...

There’s nothing quite like taking a dip in the ocean in the summertime. Sand, sunshine and the smell of salt water are practically staples when the weather gets warm. The only thing that’s unpleasant ...

Since the saltiness of ocean surface waters is a key variable in the climate system, understanding how this changes is important to understanding climate change. Thanks to ESA’s Climate Change ...

Rutgers scientists uncover evidence that deep-sea salinity helped lock away carbon dioxide levels during the last ice ...

Cliff Ross notes that in stories and studies on human-caused climate change, most of the emphasis is on a rapidly warming world that is expected to only get hotter and hotter. That's fair enough, he ...

Measuring salinity in ocean water allows researchers to infer important information about climate change and variability, as sea surface salinity can act as a “rain gauge” and is used as an indicator ...

Researchers have discovered a dramatic and unexpected shift in the Southern Ocean, with surface water salinity rising and sea ice in steep decline. Since 2015, Antarctica has lost sea ice equal to the ...

Cracking, creaking ice at the bottom of the world is quietly shaping the future climate you live in. New research from ...

Dehradun: Variations in subsurface temperature and salinity in the Indian Ocean—often invisible to conventional ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The planet’s oceans tell us a lot about the Earth’s health as a ...

Using a design inspired by one of the ocean's best sailors, a team of scientists at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory is developing a low-cost sensor for ocean observations. The sensors are ...
