Due to climate change driven sea surface temperature (SST) increase, tropical and sub-tropical corals have been experiencing temperature stress. This stress has manifested itself in multiple ways, one of which being the 'tropicalization'...
The importance of predators in influencing community structure is a well-studied area of ecology. However, few studies apply ecological hypotheses of predation when studying multi-predator systems, and even fewer apply these theories to...
Utilizing Indian Ocean Calcareous Nannofossil Biostratigraphy of Miocene Sediments to Investigate Tectonic and Climatic Forcing during the Evolution of the Himalayas
The geological history of Himalayans and Tibetan Plateau is important for understanding how our planet evolves, and how geological structures can have local and global effects on climate and floral and faunal evolution of a system. This...
Atlantic Bluefin tuna (ABFT) (Thunnus thynnus) spawn in the warm oligotrophic regions of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) where zooplankton biomass is on average low and highly variable. Consequently, their larvae are thought to be highly...
Carbonate sands are an integral part of coral reef environments but their role in the cycling of matter in the reef is understudied. Methods such as micro-profiling, core incubations, in-situ chamber incubations, and aquatic eddy...
The eastern Indian Ocean is dynamic and rich in mesoscale eddy activity, and this complex circulation has implications for biological properties. The Argo Basin, south of Java and northwest of Australia, is located in the tropical...
Sinking particles transport organic carbon produced in the surface ocean to the ocean interior, leading to net storage of atmospheric CO2 in the deep ocean. The rapid growth of in situ imaging technology has the potential to...
Seamounts are considered biodiversity hotspots with a range of physical, chemical, and geological parameters that enrich their habitat heterogeneity compared to the surrounding environment. Evidence for the spatial variation of fauna...
The marine biological carbon pump is a primary control on atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations by transporting fixed organic carbon into the ocean’s interior thereby isolating it from the atmosphere, often for years to centuries....
Using Lagrangian Model Simulations to Quantify the Sequestration Time of Remineralized CO2 in the California Current Ecosystem for Different Carbon Flux Pathways
The biological carbon pump encompasses three main pathways that transport particulate organic carbon from the surface ocean to depth; gravitational sinking, subduction, and active transport by vertically-migrating organisms. These three...
The aeolian transport of aerosols (mineral dust from desert areas, smoke and ash from biomass burning, and from anthropogenic emissions) is an important process for introducing bioactive trace elements to the surface ocean and can have a...
Spatial and Interannual Variability in Export Efficiency and the Biological Pump in an Eastern Boundary Current Upwelling System with Substantial Lateral Advection
Estimating interannual variability in carbon export is a key goal of many marine biogeochemical studies. However, due to variations in export mechanisms between regions, generalized models used to estimate global patterns in export often...
Hundreds of millions of liters of oil and natural gas are introduced to the ocean annually, yet the ecological consequences of hydrocarbon inputs into the marine environment are poorly understood. In particular, the role of microbes in...
Dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) in the surface ocean has a dual role as both the product of primary production and as a phosphorus substrate for phytoplankton when inorganic forms of phosphorus (P) are scarce. DOP has increasingly...
Megaripples are large ripples with wavelengths ranging from 5-50 m and heights from crest to trough of 0.3-1.5. They are common current-generated structures on the continental shelf and in marine environments where bottom current...
