The School of Marine Sciences presents Dr. Joseph Salisbury University of New Hampshire A profound warming event in the Gulf of Maine (GOM) during the last decade has caused sea surface temperatures (SST) to rise to levels 2 solubility and, in turn, the status of the sea surface carbonate system. When combined with the concomitant increase in sea […]
Dr. Carolyn Tepolt Assistant Scientist - Biology Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute Biological invasions are agents of significant and ongoing global environmental change, and can have devastating ecological and economic consequences. They also offer a rare opportunity to study rapid adaptation in nature. Invasive species, by definition, are highly adept at surviving and thriving in novel […]
