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

Here is the Texas Tech football depth chart going into the summer, as detailed this week by Red Raiders coach Joey McGuire. Players in bold-face type started six or more games for Texas Tech last ...

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 ...

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 ...

This is due to the increase in soil water content after irrigation led to a transient decrease in the salinity of each soil layer, and then soil water gradually evaporated and dissipated as well as ...

Beijing, SANA-China sent a new satellite for ocean-salinity detection into space on Thursday from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in north China's Shanxi Province. "The satellite was launched ...

The salinity level in some seas is much higher than the rest of the ocean, like the Mediterranean. Some lakes, such as California's Mono Lake and the Caspian Sea in Asia, are saltier.

But most plants can’t do this. Absorbing salt water will damage or kill them. The cruel irony of dryland salinity is that plants can die in dry landscapes from there being too much water.

COASTAL estuary systems start as freshwater streams high above the salt. This downwards flow of freshwater flows into and mixes with saltwater at some point, creating a zone of intermediate salinity ...

Ocean water, far from uniform, constitutes a complex tapestry of interconnected masses and layers, shaped by currents, eddies, temperature fluctuations, and variations in salinity.
