Water layering is intensifying significantly in about 40% of the world's oceans, which could have an impact on the marine food chain. The finding, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, could be linked to global warming.

Researchers in Japan have identified the potential genes responsible for coral bleaching caused by temperature elevation.

Ocean colour could serve as a reliable proxy for salinity, opening the door for more frequent and detailed measurements.
