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

The South China Sea Throughflow (SCSTF) serves as a critical oceanic conveyor belt for heat and freshwater, mediating water ...

Ice-sheet melt temporarily intensified Southern Ocean stratification between ice ages and warmer interglacial periods, thus slowing global ocean circulation as a team lead by the Max Planck Institute ...

In 1956, Frank Lloyd Wright designed The Illinois — intended to be the world’s first mile-high skyscraper. Stretching to 528 ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new way to trace the journey of water across the planet by reading tiny atomic clues hidden inside it. Slightly heavier versions of hydrogen and oxygen, called ...

Scientists have discovered that melting Antarctic ice once disrupted Earth’s global ocean conveyor belt. During past deglaciations, massive meltwater flows strengthened stratification in the Southern ...

A huge stretch of the Southern Indian Ocean is rapidly losing its salt, and scientists warn this subtle shift could quietly disrupt global ocean currents and marine life in unexpected ways.

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 ...

Which ocean is called the Stormiest Ocean? Discover why the Southern Ocean earned this title, its powerful winds, ocean ...

Scientists can now follow the path of a single drop of water across the globe. Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, and some of these atoms naturally ...

A closer look at Earth’s history shows that melting ice sheets temporarily increased stratification in the Southern Ocean.
