Predicted chance that global warming will temporarily exceed 1.5 °C
The Paris Agreement calls for efforts to limit anthropogenic global warming to less than 1.5 degrees C above preindustrial levels. However, natural internal variability may...- publication PDF

Potential and timescales for oxygen depletion in coastal upwelling systems:...
A simple box model is used to examine oxygen depletion in an idealized ocean-margin upwelling system. Near-bottom oxygen depletion is controlled by a competition between...- publication PDF

Ocean convergence and the dispersion of flotsam
Floating oil, plastics, and marine organisms are continually redistributed by ocean surface currents. Prediction of their resulting distribution on the surface is a fundamental,...- publication PDF
