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 ...

This ocean is losing salt at unprecedented speed, and it might just turn our climate plans upside down
Off the coast of Western Australia, the Southern Indian Ocean is becoming significantly less salty, and scientists say it’s happening at a rate never seen before. This rapid freshening has raised ...
The near-bottom water on the U.S. Northeast continental shelf provides a critical cold-water habitat for the rich regional marine ecosystem. This 'cold pool' preserves winter temperatures, even when ...
The southern Indian Ocean off the west coast of Australia is becoming less salty at an astonishing rate, largely due to climate change, new research shows. In a study published in Nature Climate ...
Researchers at Duke University’s Nicholas School of the Environment found that ocean saltiness can influence the strength of El Niño, a climate phenomenon that can dramatically affect global weather.
The ocean around Antarctica is rapidly getting saltier at the same time as sea ice is retreating at a record pace. Since 2015, the frozen continent has lost sea ice similar to the size of Greenland.
Algae growth on an Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) Surface Mooring, which measured water properties and velocity at the US Northeast shelfbreak, right after recovery. Woods Hole, Mass. (May 19, ...
