Hans Singh recently earned his PhD from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, where he studied marine ...

A satellite-mounted instrument has in just one year produced higher-resolution imagery of the global seafloor than that from comparable systems over the past 30 years.

The interface between marine chemistry and marine biology, ranging from natural products chemistry and biotechnology to biogeochemistry and biochemistry relating to marine systems. Many of our ...

Understanding the ecology, biogeochemical environment, marine conditions, and societal impacts of nearshore environments ranging from wetlands and estuaries to the edge of the continental shelf.

Why is oxygen important for the ocean, and what is ocean deoxygenation? Oxygen is important in the ocean for the same reasons it is important on land; the plants and animals that live there require ...

We use sequence-based approaches, flow cytometry, modeling, and other techniques to explore the structure and function of microbial communities. CalCOFI is a long-term, interdisciplinary, ...

Studying the physiology and ecology of whales, dolphins, and other marine mammals through methods ranging from molecular ecology to tracking the movements of individuals and populations using ...

The study of the ecology of marine communities that live on or near the rocks and sediments of the ocean floor. (Crab photo courtesy biological oceanographer Lisa Levin.) CMBC promotes ...

Biochemical and physiological mechanisms of adaptation of organisms to the marine environment. Special emphasis is on biological responses to temperature, salinity, carbon dioxide, pH and bicarbonate ...

Phylogenetics, systematics, and biogeography deal with the identifying, classifying, and understanding the relationships among organisms, including their geographical extent. Methods range from ...
