A thought-provoking review led by an international team of researchers reveals the critical, yet poorly studied role of salinity in a changing ocean and coastline. The study underlines how changes in ...

March 12, 2009 In 1748 the monk/physicist Jean-Antoine Nollet exploded a wine-filled pig's bladder when he submerged it in a trough of water (What did he think would happen?). The resulting discovery ...

Salts are compounds formed when positively charged cations such as sodium (Na⁺), calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺) and potassium (K⁺) combine with negatively charged anions like chloride (Cl⁻), ...

Analysing 1,135 wells pre-monsoon 2024, CGWB flags 9.78 per cent exceeding electrical conductivity (EC) salinity at 3,000 ...

The Great Salt Lake is getting saltier, creating a serious threat to the ecosystems and the economies that depend on it. New research examines the trajectory the two halves of the lake might take on a ...

Using ocean observations and a large suite of climate models, scientists have found that long-term salinity changes have a stronger influence on regional sea level changes than previously thought.

Climate change is likely to increase river salinity leading to shortages of drinking water and irrigation, and significant changes in the aquatic ecosystems in the Southwest coastal areas of ...

Dehradun: Variations in subsurface temperature and salinity in the Indian Ocean—often invisible to conventional ...

Agricultural researchers say iirrigated agriculture in the Central Valley is at risk due to the lack of fresh water. The long-term viability of irrigated agriculture in California's highly productive ...
