The ocean plays a large role in cycling carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Determining how much carbon is locked away in the ...

Tibetan uplift was mainly caused by post-collisional mantle dynamics, not ongoing India-Asia convergence. The study ...

The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History (SBMNH) is making waves in the scientific community following the excavation of a ...

Atlantic hurricane season approaches, unusually cool sea surface temperatures, in the neighborhood of 2 °F below last year’s ...

A sharp cooling trend has occurred in an ocean region that has important consequences for what happens in the upcoming ...

Whales, dolphins, and other marine mammals are washing up dead along the California coastline. A team from the National ...

This, they say occurs roughly once a decade, and disrupts upwelling processes critical to sustaining life in the region’s waters. Diminished oxygen levels can lead to wide-scale marine die-offs.

Warm western boundary currents play a role in lateral transport of heat, salt, and biogeochemical tracers, including nutrients. When these poleward western boundary currents separate from the ...

Glowing "milky seas," seen here from a satellite, have confused and captivated sailors for centuries. Colorado State University, CIRA and NOAA From the deck of the American clipper ship Shooting ...

Temperatures are beginning to ease and there are some brave souls who have already gone to enjoy the beach. In California, upon arriving at the sea, some bathers have noticed something quite strange.

These models fail to accurately represent upwelling dynamics, where wind-driven processes bring deeper, cooler water to the surface. This upwelling requires high-resolution modeling to capture the ...
