Kelleys Island floats majestically in Lake Erie’s embrace, roughly four miles north of the Marblehead Peninsula, an emerald oasis that feels worlds away from mainland Ohio. Despite measuring just over ...

The ocean around Antarctica is rapidly getting saltier at the same time as sea ice is retreating at a record pace. Since 2015 ...

A sudden salinity spike in the Southern Ocean is accelerating Antarctic ice loss and triggering a dangerous climate feedback ...

Rising salinity means the layers of the ocean are mixing more, and letting more heat escape to the surface. “Up until 2015 we kind of kept a lid on that,” she said.

A massive and surprising change is unfolding around Antarctica. Scientists have discovered that the Southern Ocean is getting saltier, and sea ice is melting at record speed, enough to match the size ...

In recent years, the Southern Ocean has undergone one of the most dramatic environmental shifts observed anywhere on Earth.

Biogeographical regions of marine organisms, i.e., their distribution across different habitats, often overlap well with the ...
