The global water cycle is enhanced under a global warming scenario, which is a significant concern due to its deep socioeconomic consequences worldwide. This article will look at recent research published in the Scientific Reports journal.

Veteran tour guide John Dickson and Executive Director Lesley Herzberg lead an enlightening walk through Arrowhead and the surrounding grounds.

The fate of plastics entering the 3D ocean circulation from rivers discharge is examined through the Lagrangian analysis of neutrally buoyant particles. Particles are released continuously over 1991-2010 at the surface along the coasts according to monthly estimates of rivers plastic waste input. They are advected by daily currents from a state-of-the-art global ocean model at 1/12° resolution. At the end of the simulation, particles remaining in the surface layer of 1~m thickness represent...

BENNINGTON — Dr. Kara Lavender Law, research professor of oceanography at Sea Education Association in Woods Hole, Mass., will give a virtual lecture “A Global Look at Plastic in the

For the past several years, a number of research programs have funded significant efforts to advance understanding of and forecasting capabilities for the Gulf of Mexico circulation, including the Loop Current, its associated eddies, and abyssal dynamics. One such program is the National Academies’ Understanding Gulf Ocean Systems initiative, which focuses on improving forecasts of the physical dynamics of the open Gulf of Mexico in space and time scales useful for the reduction of risks to of...

A Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution research team has been awarded $7.6 million to support its study of the Gulf of Mexico Loop Current.

Woods Hole, MA (March 25, 2022) – A Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution-led research team has been awarded $7.6 million from the Gulf Research Program (GRP) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM).

Here, we chat with Profs. deCastro and Iglesias to learn more about their research, their thoughts on the future of Physical Oceanography and how advances in this field can provide a better understanding of future environmental change.

Deoxygenation boosts greenhouse gas emissions, inhibits diverse life processes, diminishes halobiotic abundance, and collapses ecosystems. Researchers looked at the ToE of oxygen changes over all vertical zones of the global ocean as predicted by two sets of large ensemble simulations from the Commo

1911The Americans suffer from an inferiority complex. The way the Americans solve this problem is to feel superior to everyone else. This is easily verifiable.
