Passage of intraseasonal waves in the subsurface oceans
Geophysical Research Letters, 2007 This study exploits the coverage of ARGO (Array for Real‐time Geostrophic Oceanography) float data sets towards identifying passage of intraseasonal waves over the subsurface global oceans. ARGO, a new observing system, has provided an unprecedented data coverage and impact.

In Search of Subsurface Oceans Within the Uranian Moons. [PDF]
J Geophys Res Planets, 2021 AbstractThe Galileo mission to Jupiter discovered magnetic signatures associated with hidden subsurface oceans at the moons Europa and Callisto using the phenomenon of magnetic induction. These induced magnetic fields originate from electrically conductive layers within the moons and are driven by Jupiter's strong time‐varying magnetic field.

Tides in subsurface oceans with meridional varying thickness [PDF]
, 2020 Tidal heating can play an important role in the formation and evolution of subsurface oceans of outer-planet moons. Up until now tidal heating has only been studied in subsurface oceans of spatially uniform thickness.

Protein Stability in Titan's Subsurface Water Ocean [PDF]
Astrobiology, 2020 Models of Titan predict that there is a subsurface ocean of water and ammonia under a layer of ice. Such an ocean would be important in the search for extraterrestrial life since it provides a potentially habitable environment.

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 263-304., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Amplified Subsurface Signals of Ocean Acidification [PDF]
Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2023 AbstractWe evaluate the impact of anthropogenic carbon (Cant) accumulation on multiple ocean acidification (OA) metrics throughout the water column and across the major ocean basins using the GLODAPv2.2016b mapped product. OA is largely considered a surface‐intensified process caused by the air‐to‐sea transfer of Cant; however, we find that the partial

Subsurface ocean warming preceded Heinrich Events
Nature Communications, 2022 AbstractAlthough the global environmental impact of Laurentide Ice-Sheet destabilizations on glacial climate during Heinrich Events is well-documented, the mechanism driving these ice-sheet instabilities remains elusive. Here we report foraminifera-based subsurface (~150 m water depth) ocean temperature and salinity reconstructions from a sediment core

Redox heterogeneity of subsurface waters in the
Geobiology, 2014 AbstractA substantial body of evidence suggests that subsurface water masses in mid‐Proterozoic marine basins were commonly anoxic, either euxinic (sulfidic) or ferruginous (free ferrous iron). To further document redox variations during this interval, a multiproxy geochemical and paleobiological investigation was conducted on the approximately 1000‐m ...

Reorientation of Sputnik Planitia implies a subsurface ocean on Pluto [PDF]
Nature, 2016 The deep nitrogen-covered Sputnik Planitia (SP; informal name) basin on Pluto is located very close to the longitude of Pluto's tidal axis[1] and may be an impact feature [2], by analogy with other large basins in the solar system[3,4]. Reorientation[5-7] due to tidal and rotational torques can explain SP's location, but requires it to be a positive ...
