Predicting Wave Wash Overs for Sea Turtle Nests
To better protect coastal species, researchers developed a model that predicts harmful wash overs with 83% accuracy.
Fast-Melting Mountain Glaciers Speed Up Sea Level Rise
Satellites spy on remote alpine glaciers, producing more accurate—and higher—estimates of ice loss over time.
Keeping a Watch on Seaweeds: The Forests of the World’s Coasts
Planning the Implementation of a Global Long-Term Observing and Data Sharing Strategy for Macroalgal Communities; Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, 24–26 September 2018
Christopher N. K. Mooers (1935–2018)
This passionate physical oceanographer, a leader and catalyst in coastal studies, explored many facets of nearshore circulation and advanced the modeling and forecasting of coastal dynamics.
Coastal Ocean Warming Adds to CO2 Burden
With coastal oceans around the world changing from the effects of urbanization, rising carbon dioxide levels, and climate warming, recent work begins to find new land-sea linkages.
Dynamic Ice Sheet and Sea Level Response to Past Climate Change
PALSEA2 Workshop; Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico, 6–9 November 2017
Carbon Release from Permafrost Erosion Along the Yukon Coast
New findings highlight the need to account for large amounts of ground ice contained in frozen soil when assessing Arctic carbon cycling.
Rising Ocean Temperatures Threaten Carbon-Storing Sea Grass
A new model predicts that as ocean temperatures rise, carbon-storing sea grass may disappear and even go extinct in some ecosystems.
Sea Level 2017 Conference Looks to Coastal Sea Level Rise Impact
International World Climate Research Programme/Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (WCRP/IOC) Open Science Conference on Regional Sea Level Rise and Its Impacts; New York, New York, 10–14 July 2017
