The southern Indian Ocean off the west coast of Australia is becoming less salty at an astonishing rate, largely due to ...

Han’s team estimates that the area covered by salty seawater in this Southern Indian Ocean region has shrunk by about 30% over the past 60 years. They describe it as the fastest freshening seen ...

New research from the University of Copenhagen suggests that volcanic eruptions during the Ice Age may have triggered sudden ...

Fresh evidence from sediment cores, satellite records, and deep-ocean sensors is converging on a troubling finding: meltwater ...

Climate change is rapidly freshening one of Earth’s saltiest ocean regions in the Southern Indian Ocean, potentially disrupting circulation.

A subpolar gyre is a large-scale ocean current system located at high latitudes created by a persistent region of low atmospheric pressure. These gyres circulate water in a cyclonic direction – ...

The East/Japan Sea is a complex and dynamic marginal sea whose circulation patterns are governed by a combination of local atmospheric forcing, basin geometry, and exchanges with surrounding margins.

Scientists say the collapse of AMOC could plunge Iceland into extreme winter temperatures.

Scientists have detected a major drop in salinity in one of the world’s saltiest ocean regions. The change could affect monsoons, marine life and global climate systems, raising new concerns about the ...

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 ...
