Evidence found that the end of the last ice age saw a massive warming from the emergence of salty water trapped in the deep ...

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 ...

“In a way, the ocean has been our greatest champion in the fight against climate change,” Glaubke said. “But without a ...

The Southern Ocean exists in a state of precarious balance. The sea is layered, with cold surface water sitting atop relatively warm water. It’s an inherently unstable situation—all else being equal, ...

Earth observation measurements shouldn’t be taken with a pinch of salt. ESA is comparing readings of sea-surface salinity from drifting floats to confirm the SMOS water mission’s measurements. Since ...

Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) is a fundamental parameter in the study of the Earth’s climate system, influencing ocean circulation, air–sea interactions and the global water cycle. Advances in satellite ...

Scientists uncover how ancient ocean salt controlled carbon storage and shaped global temperatures at the end of the last ice ...
