The #SouthernOcean's surface has become saltier since 2015, weakening ocean stratification and triggering record sea ice losses.
The study suggests that ocean salinity is a major driver of recent sea ice loss and has big implications for climate, sea levels, and polar ecosystems.

Scientists find a 'dangerous feedback loop' in sudden sea ice melt
Over the past few years, researchers have discovered dramatic and "unexpected" shifts in the Southern Ocean.

The #SouthernOcean’s northern Antarctic Peninsula is a hotspot for microplastic pollution, impacting Antarctic #krill (and animals relying on it for their diet) and ecosystems already stressed by warming and acidification.

Melting sea ice in Antarctica causes ocean storms, scientists say
The record-breaking retreat of Antarctic sea ice in 2023 has led to more frequent storms over newly exposed parts of the Southern Ocean, according to a study published Wednesday.
