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,

At Steinberg’s lab, researchers are examining how warming oceans — Antarctic krill need water colder than 4 degrees Celsius (39 Fahrenheit) to survive — are altering krill’s life cycle.
The new study shows that Antarctic krill lock at least 20 million tonnes of carbon into the deep ocean annually, which equates to $4-46 billion of storage value, depending on the price of carbon.
