Watch the Upcoming Webinar on Ecosystem Salinization: Challenges and Next Steps

Join us from 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. on 25 February for an insighful webinar on Ecosystem Salinization: Challenges and Next Steps, a pressing global issue impacting aquatic, marine and soil ecosystems. 

Salinization, driven by factors such as population growth, climate change and human activities, poses a significant threat to ecosystem health worldwide. Rising temperatures that accelerate evaporation, increased road salt use, urbanization, agricultural practices and resource extraction activities like mountaintop mining, fracking and oil sands operations contribute to elevated salinity levels. These changes result in osmotic stress and can exacerbate the toxicity of other contaminants in these environments.

The webinar will dive into recent major ion toxicity research advances and explore the broader implications for aquatic organisms and ecosystem integrity. With the potential for irreversible impacts on ecosystem structure and function, this issue is highly relevant to the SETAC community and beyond.
