Study of Saturn’s Moon Adds to Evidence of Strong Ocean Currents on Enceladus
Beneath the frozen surface of Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus lies a vast ocean where, according to a new study, turbulent waters carry nutrients and minerals from hot hydrothermal vents to the icy surface. There, the particles are forced through cracks in the ice and ejected into space within great gassy plumes. Such particles were detected… Continue Reading Study of Saturn’s Moon Adds to Evidence of Strong Ocean Currents on Enceladus
Ocean Surface Tipping Point Could Accelerate Climate Change
The oceans help to limit global warming by soaking up carbon dioxide emissions. But scientists have discovered that intense warming in the future could lessen that ability, leading to even more severe warming. The discovery comes from a study led by The University of Texas at Austin in which researchers analyzed a climate simulation configured… Continue Reading Ocean Surface Tipping Point Could Accelerate Climate Change
