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

The oceans are mostly composed of warm salty water near the surface over cold, less salty water in the ocean depths. These ...

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

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 ...

Leipzig. Current climate models have so far been unable to adequately reproduce the clouds over the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. An international team has now taken an important step towards ...

The paper found that the water in the Southern Ocean has unexpectedly been getting saltier over the last 10 years, a reversal of a trend measured since roughly the 1970s. Its main author told Snopes ...
