WAGENINGEN, Netherlands, Nov. 10 (UPI) --Iran's Lake Urmia was once the world's second-largest hypersaline lake. Today, it is nearly gone. Over the last several decades, the lake's volume has declined ...

The study delves into hypersaline lakes in Xinjiang, China, exploring the genetic and metabolic diversity of microbial communities termed "microbial dark matters". Hypersaline lake ecosystems, ...

Researchers report that they have developed a radically different desalination approach--''temperature swing solvent extraction (TSSE)''--for hypersaline brines. Their study demonstrates that TSSE can ...

Hypersaline water is again leaking into mangroves from faulty ponds in Adelaide's north, prompting calls for urgent action to avoid a repeat of last year's ecological disaster that killed swathes of ...

Sunken into a deep depression, surrounded by a cascade of mountains and the active Tat Ali volcanic ridges, Lake Afrera shimmers in emerald green. One of the two hypersaline lakes of the Danakil ...
