Extolling the Benefits of Ocean Science [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 With recent legislation requiring reductions in the federal budget, ocean sciences funding will come under increased scrutiny. In order to make the public and our elected leaders more aware of the value of ocean sciences, there is no better time than now for us to increase our efforts in outreach, education, and advocacy.

The Importance of Ocean Science Diplomacy for Ocean Affairs, Global Sustainability, and the UN Decade of Ocean Science [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The ocean is highly impacted by human activities, and ambitious levels of science are urgently needed to support decision making in order to achieve sustainability. Due to the high cost and risk associated with ocean exploration and monitoring in time and space, vast areas of the oceanic social ecological system remain under-sampled or unknown ...

Ocean acidification science stands strong [PDF]
Science, 2021 In his News Feature “Sea of doubts” (7 May, p. [560][1]), M. Enserink reports on fraud allegations in about one-fourth of the studies analyzing the impact of ocean acidification on fish behavior. As institutions work to determine whether there is truth to the allegations, which have not yet been independently verified, the public and policy-makers ...

Microfibers in oceanic surface waters: A global characterization
Science Advances, 2020 Contrary to global production, most fibers floating in the ocean are not synthetic but natural fibers of animal or plant origin. Microfibers are ubiquitous contaminants of emerging concern.

Potassium isotopic heterogeneity in subducting oceanic plates
Science Advances, 2020 High-precision K isotopic measurements identify crustal inputs to the mantle and controls on oceanic K cycle. Oceanic crust and sediments are the primary K sinks for seawater, and they deliver considerable amounts of K to the mantle via subduction ...

The oceanic sink for anthropogenic CO2 from 1994 to 2007
Science, 2019 The state of ocean CO2 uptake The ocean is an important sink for anthropogenic CO2 and has absorbed roughly 30% of our emissions between the beginning of the industrial revolution and the mid-1990s. This effect is an important moderator of climate change,

Primary production of the biosphere: integrating terrestrial and oceanic components
Science, 1998 Integrating conceptually similar models of the growth of marine and terrestrial primary producers yielded an estimated global net primary production (NPP) of 104.9 petagrams of carbon per year, with roughly equal contributions from land and oceans ...
