Seafloor Warming and Methane Releases in the Arctic Ocean
Vast amounts of methane hydrates are stored in sediments along the
continental margins. Their stability is due to the low
temperature–high-pressure conditions found on the seafloor. Global
warming could destabilize these hydrates and cause a …
Sustainable Fisheries
Sustainable Fisheries applies a multidisciplinary approach toward
fishery management by combining dynamic ecosystem interactions,
stochastic processes, and climatic trends. Expertise from biology,
resource economics, and law of the sea are …
Ocean Iron Fertilization
At present time, the international community has accepted a 2°C
temperature increase above preindustrial levels as the maximum tolerable
limit for global warming. Extrapolating from current global CO2
emissions and results from current climate …
Integrating Ocean Biogeochemistry, Paleoceanography and Climate Modeling
Numerical climate models are sophisticated tools used to predict the
climate of the future. To be confident in their predictions, model
simulations of the modern climate are usually compared with
observational data from the last 50 – 100 years, …
