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

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

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

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 ...

How will climate change influence the ocean’s circulation in the future? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as a researcher from Massachusetts Institute of ...

Course description: A yearly investigation, in seminar format, of major problems in the study and understanding of Quaternary climate variation. Each year one or two major topics will be addressed, ...

Ocean circulation refers to the large-scale, coherent movement of seawater driven primarily by wind stress, density gradients (thermohaline processes), Earth’s rotation, and basin geometry. It ...
