The thinner this mixed layer becomes, the easier the ocean gets warmer. The new work could explain recent extreme marine heatwaves and point at a future of more frequent and destructive ocean warming events as global temperatures continue to climb. Marine heatwaves will be more intense and happen more often in the future, said Dillon Amaya, a CIRES Visiting Fellow and lead author on the study out this week in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society s Explaining Extreme Events. And we now understand the mechanics of why. When the mixed layer is thin, it takes less heat to warm the ocean more.

Barnum, who in 1878 bought the land where the library now sits for a subdivision. The Ross-Barnum Library opened in 1954.
But today, DPL sees a need for change. In his newspaper, Byers openly advocated for a few months of active extermination against Indigenous people, whom he referred to as the red devils. Front-page stories applauded the Sand Creek Massacre, the November 29, 1864, assault led by Colonel John Chivington on a peaceful camp of Cheyenne and Arapaho in the southeast corner of the Colorado territory that killed at least 200 members of the tribes, including many chiefs.
BOULDER The University of Colorado Boulder and the Secure World Foundation have signed a memorandum of understanding to launch the Space and Sustainability Initiative.
As the first program in the nation to focus on the role of the private sector and entrepreneurship in the sustainable commercialization of space activities, the Space and Sustainability Initiative at the University of Colorado Boulder will develop norms of responsible behavior for commercial space activities.
With projected revenues of up to $1.1 trillion by 2040, the global space industry is set to grow rapidly. This growth increases consequences and costs, such as satellite congestion and debris accumulation that could endanger future space operations.
