Two UC Santa Cruz researchers will be delving deeper into coastal and climate resiliency efforts within California’s marine sanctuaries as part of two recent grants from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The American Geophysical Union’s Ewing Medal is given annually in recognition of significant original contributions to the ocean sciences.
A new program from the Simons Foundation supports successful researchers who have a deep interest, curiosity, and drive to make contributions to a new discipline.
Instruments carried by migrating elephant seals measured deep warm-water anomalies that lasted much longer than the surface warming.
UCSC scientists are part of a DARPA-funded team to develop innovative solutions for coral reef restoration in Florida and the Caribbean to protect coastal infrastructure.

Ocean Sciences Professor Carl Lamborg uses Younger Lagoon Reserve to teach Field and Lab Methods in Aquatic and Coastal Science.
Healthy coastal wetlands can help combat climate change by absorbing large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it for the long term. A large interdisciplinary team is now working to help the wetlands maximize their impact.
Whales eat a lot, and yet paradoxically, their decline has also led to a decline in the krill they feed on, and negatively impacted the productivity of their ecosystem.
