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.
Australian scientists have started analysing the first batch of samples from the 'Million Year Ice Core' project.
“Antarctic ice cores are like Rosetta Stones,” said Jim White, Craver Family Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in an email.
