The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
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.

Wind-driven coastal upwelling can be compensated by onshore geostrophic flow, and river plumes are associated with such flow. We investigate possible limitation of the northeast Gulf of Guinea upwelling by the Niger River plume, using regional ocean ...

The relation of wind-driven coastal and offshore upwelling in the Benguela Upwelling System [PDF]
AbstractSpatial and temporal variations of nutrient-rich upwelled water across the major eastern boundary upwelling systems are primarily controlled by the surface wind with different, and sometimes contrasting, impacts on coastal upwelling systems driven by alongshore wind and offshore upwelling systems driven by the local wind-stress-curl.

Tracing the upwelling process in the northern Benguela upwelling system (nBUS) by 129I
New data on the presence of 129I in seawater in the Southern Hemisphere measured by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) is presented. The samples were collected in 2014 along the Namibian coast during a cruise organised by the National Marine Information and Research Centre (NatMIRC), the national laboratories of the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine ...

Physical processes and biological productivity in the upwelling regions of the tropical Atlantic [PDF]
In this paper, we review observational and modelling results on the upwelling in the tropical Atlantic between 10∘ N and 20∘ S. We focus on the physical processes that drive the seasonal variability of surface cooling and the upward nutrient flux ...

Global increases in temperature are altering land-sea temperature gradients. Bakun (1990) hypothesized that changes within these gradients will directly affect atmospheric pressure cells associated with the development of winds and will consequently ...

Variations of the Somali upwelling since 18.5 ka BP and its relationship with southwest monsoon rainfall [PDF]
Somali upwelling history has been reconstructed for the last 18.5 ka BP based on biogenic silica fluxes estimated from a sediment core retrieved from the western Arabian Sea.

Dynamics of wind-driven upwelling and relaxation between Monterey Bay and Point Arena: Local-, regional-, and gyre-scale controls [PDF]
In north and central California, equatorward winds drive equatorward flows and the upwelling of cold dense water over the shelf during the midspring and summer upwelling season.

Modelling the impact of Baltic Sea upwelling on the atmospheric boundary layer [PDF]
Coastal upwelling, with a strong sea-surface temperature (SST) signal, is extremely common in the Baltic Sea during the summer months. Although the spatial scale of upwelling is small, its high frequency of occurrence in the semi-enclosed basin may allow
