Near Antarctica, Saltier Seas Mean Less Ice, Study Finds
A study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that increases in salinity in seawater near the surface could help explain some of the decrease in Antarctic sea ice that have been observed over the past decade, reversing a previous period of growth.
A fresh set of numbers is changing what scientists thought happens when a city‑sized slab of ice dissolves into the sea. The ...

Southern Ocean shows troubling signs of a growing climate emergencyIn recent years, the Southern Ocean has undergone one of the most dramatic environmental shifts observed anywhere on Earth.
While satellites have revolutionized our ability to measure sea level with remarkable precision, their data becomes less ...
When attached to a drone, researchers can accurately measure sea ice depth — a measurement that’s challenging to get, and that informs scientists about the impacts of climate change.
Finally, we can measure the thickness of Arctic sea ice all year round, supporting ship traffic, weather and climate forecasts. The international study, led by researchers at UiT The Arctic ...
The extent of sea ice isn’t the only measurement scientists are tracking. The thickness of the ice also matters and, since the 1980s, Arctic sea ice has become thinner.
The NSIDC said the measurement of sea ice taken Saturday, March 22, 2025, was 5.53 million square miles — around 30,000 square miles smaller than the lowest previous peak, set in 2017.
