Genetic structure of the crown-of-thorns seastar in the Pacific Ocean, with focus on Guam [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Population outbreaks of the corallivorous crown-of-thorns seastar (COTS), Acanthaster ‘planci’ L., are among the most important biological disturbances of tropical coral reefs.

The role of shallow and deep circulations in the Tropical Pacific Ocean heat budget
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 The Tropical Pacific Ocean plays an important role in setting the global ocean heat content and redistribution. We examined the role of the shallow and deep circulations in the tropical Pacific in unperturbed and transient climate change conditions in a ...

Tsunami Propagation in the Pacific Ocean
Coastal Engineering 1976, 1976 The Alaska tsunami of March 28, 1964, caused by a tectonic uplift, propagated across the Pacific Ocean and was even recorded at the shores of New Zealand and the Antarctica. The large distance propagation of this tsunami is investigated by a numerical model based on the shallow water equations.

The Indonesian throughflow, its variability and centennial change
Geoscience Letters, 2018 The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) is an important component of the upper cell of the global overturning circulation that provides a low-latitude pathway for warm, fresh waters from the Pacific to enter the Indian Ocean.

Literature of the Pacific, Mainly Australian
eTropic: electronic journal of studies in the tropics, 2016 This lecture is in some ways the ‘lost’ chapter of The Cambridge History of Australian Literature (2009), one eventually not written because the projected author could find not enough literary material even in that vast Pacific Ocean, or perhaps found ...

Meridional Asymmetry in Recent Decadal Sea‐Level Trends in the Subtropical Pacific Ocean
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Recent sea surface height (SSH) trends in the South Pacific are substantially greater than trends in the North Pacific. Here, we use the Estimating the Climate and Circulation of the Ocean Version 4 Release 4 ocean state estimate and the Ocean Reanalysis

Silicon stable isotope distribution traces Southern Ocean export of Si to the eastern South Pacific thermocline [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2012 The cycling and transport of dissolved silicon (Si) in the ocean may be traced by its stable isotope composition, δ<sup>30</sup>Si. We present a dataset of δ<sup>30</sup>Si values along 103° W in the eastern

Reduced North Pacific Deep Water formation across the Northern Hemisphere Glaciation
Nature CommunicationsToday, deep waters do not form in the northern high latitudes of the Pacific Ocean, but this may not have been the case during the Pliocene. Evidence suggests there was a Pacific Meridional Overturning Circulation during the warm Late Pliocene, similar ...
