The Paradox of Ocean Salinity: Exploring the Mystery of Saltwater Saturation
OceanographyIt is a common misconception that the oceans become saltier over time. This is not the case, even though the saturation point of salt water is 26%. This leads to an interesting question: if the saturation point of saltwater is 26%, why don’t oceans get saltier over time? In this article we will explore this
Restoring Ocean Pastures: A Viable Solution for Rapid Climate Change Mitigation?
OceanographyClimate change is one of the most serious threats facing humanity and the planet. Increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing global temperatures to rise, resulting in a range of environmental, social, and economic impacts. While reducing greenhouse gas emissions is essential to addressing climate change, it is
Why Does Some Ocean Exist on Continental Crust?
OceanographyWhy is there an ocean on the continental crust? applescript FAQs 1. What is the primary reason why some ocean exists on continental crust? The distribution of oceanic and continental crust on Earth is primarily controlled by plate tectonics, a theory that explains how the Earth’s lithosphere is divided into a number of plates that

Exploring the Underlying Causes of Marine Species Loss in IPCC 6
OceanographyThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a scientific body established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to provide policy-makers with regular assessments of the science of climate change, its impacts and future risks. The IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) is the most recent comprehensive review of
Assessing the Impact of Climate Change on Southern Downwelling in the AMOC: A Comparative Analysis with Northern Downwelling
OceanographyThe Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a critical component of the global ocean circulation system, responsible for the redistribution of heat and nutrients and thereby influencing global climate. The AMOC has three main branches, the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW), the South Atlantic Deep Water (SADW), and the Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW). The NADW
Exploring the Phenomenon of Light Blue Circles on the Ocean Surface
OceanographyLight blue circles on the ocean surface are not only a fascinating phenomenon, they can also provide important information about the health of the local ecosystem. For example, the presence of trichodesmium can indicate that the local environment is rich in nutrients and therefore capable of supporting a variety of marine life. Similarly, cold water
