Declining oxygen in the global ocean and coastal waters
Beneath the waves, oxygen disappears As plastic waste pollutes the oceans and fish stocks decline, unseen below the surface another problem grows: deoxygenation. Breitburg et al...
Effects of climate change on hypoxia in coastal waters: A doubled CO<sub>2</sub> scenario for the northern Gulf of Mexico
Projections of general circulation models suggest that freshwater discharge from the Mississippi River to the coastal ocean will increase 20% if atmospheric CO 2 concentration d...
Peak glacial <sup>14</sup> C ventilation ages suggest major draw-down of carbon into the abyssal ocean
Abstract. Ice core records demonstrate a glacial-interglacial atmospheric CO2 increase of ~ 100 ppm. A transfer of ~ 530 Gt C is required to produce the deglacial rise of carbon...
Computations of Surface Energy Flux and Annual Air–Sea Interaction Cycles of the North Atlantic Ocean
Energy fluxes through the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean have been calculated using bulk aerodynamic equations with exchange coefficients which vary with wind speed and sta...
Increased marine production of N2O due to intensifying anoxia on the Indian continental shelf
Eutrophication of surface waters and hypoxia in bottom waters has been increasing in many coastal areas, leading to very large depletions of marine life in the affected regions....
