Brillouin lidar techniques harness the inelastic scattering of light – known as Brillouin scattering – within seawater to derive key physical parameters, notably temperature and salinity. By analysing ...

Soils have a natural characteristic called the cation exchange capacity (CEC) that allows them to hold (and exchange) cations (e.g., Ca+2 or Na+). These cations are held tight enough on the CEC that ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2023.220016 discusses ocean lidar remote sensing technology based on Brillouin scattering spectrum. The monitoring of marine ...

An Argentine satellite with a U.S.-built primary instrument will begin measuring the salinity of Earth’s oceans with unprecedented detail this summer, provided its planned June 9 launch goes well. The ...

An autonomous ocean robot, launched from Woods Hole, is attempting to complete a first-ever trip around the world.

It's a fact of life in the winter. When snow and ice threaten, salt and brine go down on the roads. And where that salt ends up was the subject of a recently published paper in the journal Limnology ...

Researchers report using machine learning to develop a long term analysis of 40 years of topsoil salinity changes across the globe. Soil salinity varies across space and time due to natural events ...

Since the Industrial Revolution, scientists estimate that the ocean has become around 30% more acidic from the uptake of additional anthropogenic carbon dioxide. Ocean acidification has widespread ...
