Deep-Sea Debris in the Central and Western Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Marine debris is a growing problem in the world’s deep ocean. The naturally slow biological and chemical processes operating at depth, coupled with the types of materials that are used commercially, suggest that debris is likely to persist in the deep ...

Thermal stress jeopardizes carbonate production of coral reefs across the western and central Pacific Ocean. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2021 Coral reefs protect islands, coastal areas, and their inhabitants from storm waves and provide essential goods and services to millions of people worldwide. Yet contemporary rates of ocean warming and local disturbances are jeopardizing the reef-building capacity of coral reefs to keep up with rapid rates of sea-level rise. This study compared the reef-

Environmental versus operational drivers of drifting FAD beaching in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractIn an effort to increase purse seine fishing efficiency for tropical tunas, over 30,000 drifting Fish Aggregating Devices (dFADs) are deployed every year by fishers in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO). The use of dFADs also impacts ecosystems, in particular through marine pollution and dFAD beaching.

The covariability of sea surface temperature and MAM rainfall on East Africa using singular value decomposition analysis [PDF]
Geographica Pannonica, 2020 The study assesses the covariability of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and March to May (MAM) rainfall variability on East Africa (EA) from 1981 to 2018. Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) analysis reveals the significant influence of SST anomalies on MAM

Interannual variability of the frequency of MJO phases and its association with two types of ENSO
Scientific Reports, 2021 In this study, we reexamine the effect of two types of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) modes on Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) activity in terms of the frequency of MJO phases.
