Antarctic Ocean Turns Saltier for First Time in 130,000 Years

New research finds that the ocean around Antarctica is becoming saltier rather than fresher, a shift not seen in 130,000 years. Scientists warn that changes to the region's freshwater engine could have global consequences, including effects on ocean circulation, sea levels, and climate patterns far beyond the polar south.
Why now: The findings suggest a potentially major and unexpected disruption to ocean systems that regulate the global climate.
