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

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 ...

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

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.

One of the ocean's saltiest regions has become 30 per cent less salty - sparking fears the Gulf Stream could be inching closer to a catastrophic collapse.

Deep beneath the ocean between Greenland and Iceland, a vast cascade of cold water plunges silently for thousands of feet.

Off the coast of Western Australia, the Southern Indian Ocean is becoming significantly less salty, and scientists say it’s ...

Accurate measurements of surface currents are crucial for coastal monitoring, rip current detection, and predicting the path of pollutants. Several methods exist to measure surface currents, some of ...

Forget Angel Falls; the world's largest waterfall is an invisible underwater giant. The Denmark Strait cataract, between Greenland and Iceland, plunges 3,500 meters, dwarfing land-based falls. This ...

Understanding how the oceans behaved in the past — especially during extremely cold periods — is crucial for testing the models used to project future climate change. The peak of the last ice age, the ...
