While many hear of the exciting research and results that come after the completion of at-sea scientific missions, much is done ahead of time to ensure their success. Gear trials and training are all necessary leading up to the big show.
Come along for the ride! Scientists are on a research mission to learn more about open-ocean mesoscale eddies and their impact on pelagic ecosystems in the Central North Pacific.
Our numerical simulation approach provides an analytical tool for calculating the steepness distribution in other pelagic fish influenced by increases in sea surface temperature due to global warming.
To assess the distribution of priority reef fish species around Guam, we analyzed five years of fish survey data from the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (2009–2022) using various spatial modeling techniques.
The MHI ROMS simulation proves to be a useful tool for coral reef management in the absence of, or to supplement, subsurface and satellite measurements across Hawaiʻi and likely for other Pacific Island regions.
