A new tool that reconciles modeling and paleoclimate data builds confidence that tropical Pacific corals reliably archive natural variability in the El Niño–Southern Oscillation climate pattern.Read More »Ocean Sciences
Although some islands demonstrate more resiliency than previously thought, island communities may require significant flood-resistant infrastructure to maintain their way of life.Read More »
In freshwater vegetation flats upstream of the Chesapeake, chemical reactions create molecules that raise pH levels in the bay.Read More »Ocean Sciences
La importancia del agua subterránea dulce para los ecosistemas costeros es revelada utilizando el primer modelo numérico a escala global.Read More »Biogeosciences
Continental shelves and estuaries are natural sources of nitrous oxide, but current global estimates of these emissions carry a lot of uncertainty, a problem that calls for regional studies.Read More »Ocean Sciences
New research is finding there’s more to marine debris than just what appears near the ocean surface, including tons of microplastics extending hundreds of meters into the deep.Read More »Ocean Sciences
A new model explains why the ocean’s capacity to take up carbon was reduced on a decadal scale, by accounting for reduced pCO2 emissions and ocean state changes due to the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo.Read More »Biogeosciences
Las técnicas de genómica microbiana llegaron a su madurez después del derrame de Deepwater Horizon, ofreciendo a los investigadores una visión incomparable de cómo los ecosistemas responden a tales desastres ambientales.Read More »Ocean Sciences
Global climate models do not reproduce observed trends of the Southern polar ocean surface, but an increase in wind-transported sea ice that melts and inhibits mixing may account for the disparity.Read More »
