Dead Sea Warming and the Origin of Salt Giants

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Episodically in Earth's history, marine basins became hydrologically restricted, forming “salt giants,” yet the mechanisms driving their formation remain debated. The modern Dead Sea, undergoing restriction from anthropogenic inflow diversion, shows rapid lake‐level decline and salt precipitation.

Diversity of Fauna in Crimean Hypersaline Water Bodies [PDF]

Журнал Сибирского федерального университета: Серия Биология, 2018
On the Crimean peninsula, there are more than 50 hypersaline water bodies, including the Sivash (the Sea of Azov), the largest hypersaline lagoon in the world. Based on the literature and our own long-term research data (2000–2017), a review of the fauna

Ion regulatory mechanisms supporting hypersaline tolerance in the coastal rock pool mosquito

iScience
Summary: The coastal rock pool mosquito, Aedes togoi, is a remarkable example of a saline-tolerant mosquito. While most mosquitoes are obligate freshwater breeders, Ae. togoi larvae and pupae inhabit coastal rock pools that span freshwater to hypersaline

Domain-specific osmoadaptation revealed by metatranscriptomic analysis in hypersaline environments

Scientific Reports
High-throughput RNA-seq enables the analysis of gene expression in complex, culture-independent microbial communities. In this study, we used this approach to explore the microbial adaptation to salinity changes in hypersaline environments using samples ...

Extremely Halotolerant and Halophilic Fungi Inhabit Brine in Solar Salterns Around the Globe

Food Technology and Biotechnology, 2014
For a long time halotolerant and halophilic fungi have been known exclusively as contaminants of food preserved with high concentrations of either salt or sugar.

The extreme halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii reduced Fe(III) to conserve energy from extracellular electron transfer

Journal of Bacteriology
Iron availability affects oceanic primary productivity and the strength of the biological carbon pump. However, the mechanism of iron solubility in hypersaline environments is poorly understood.

Threats and Shifts in Microbial Communities of Salars Associated With Direct Lithium Extraction and Brine Reinjection

Global Challenges
Lithium is a much in‐demand element that is critical for the transition toward low‐carbon energy systems. Beyond hard‐rock mining, large quantities of lithium are extracted from brines of high‐Andean salars (salares).
