Fossilized Caribbean Corals Reveal Ancient Summer Rains

Sarah Stanley, Science Writer by Sarah Stanley 20 April 201824 January 2024

Isotope records and climate modeling suggest that the rainy Intertropical Convergence Zone expanded northward into the southern Caribbean during a warm interglacial period about 125,000 years ago.

Researchers identify a new current off the coast of Madagascar that may play an influential role in ocean upwelling.

How Ice Rafting Events Affect Asian Monsoon Hydroclimate

Sarah Stanley, Science Writer by Sarah Stanley 9 April 201816 March 2023

Cave stalagmites provide isotopic evidence that Bond events and Heinrich events have more variable effects on Asian monsoon hydroclimate during the last glacial period than during the Holocene.

Acoustic Imaging of Oceanic Mixing in the Gulf of Mexico

Sarah Stanley, Science Writer by Sarah Stanley 9 February 201819 October 2021

Detailed analysis of acoustic reflections suggests that vertical mixing of oceanic water is enhanced at greater depths, thanks to weak stratification and the roughness of the seabed.

Irradiation-induced color changes in sodium chloride suggest Europa’s ocean waters are mixing with surface waters—a sign of the moon’s potential to support life

Seeking Salt That Surfaces from Europa’s Hidden Ocean

Sarah Stanley, Science Writer by Sarah Stanley 31 January 20187 March 2022

Irradiation-induced color changes in sodium chloride could reveal whether it came from ocean water mixing with surface water, a key component of the moon’s potential to support life.

Space Weathering Asymmetrically Alters Lunar Crater Walls

Sarah Stanley, Science Writer by Sarah Stanley 23 January 201815 November 2021

Directional differences in craters’ optical properties suggest that the solar wind, not tiny meteorites, is the main driver of space weathering on the Moon.
