Perspectives on Ocean Science

Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble chronicles a 30 year quest to reveal the role ocean bubbles play in weather, climate and planetary science. Formed by breaking ocean waves and trapped within ancient glacier ice, marine bubbles range from the poles to the tropics and their effects are global in scale. Bubbles bridge air and sea, driving the exchange of gas, chemicals and microbes across wind-driven oceans. Series: "Jeffrey B.

Scripps Institution's Neal Driscoll provides an inside look at the AlertSoCal system, developed in collaboration with the Scripps-based High Performance Wireless Research and Education Network (HPWREN) and the Nevada Seismological Laboratory, which expands Southern California’s state-of-the-art earthquake and weather monitoring system to better detect fires in real time before they spread.

Join Scripps Oceanography Green Scholar John Delaney for a deep dive into the profound connections between oceans, human history, and the future of exploration, on earth and other planets. Series: "Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives on Ocean Science Lecture Series" [Science] [Show ID: 32881]

Join Scripps marine biologist Maya deVries as she describes the mantis shrimp's "punch." With speeds of up to 50 miles per hour and accelerations that are comparable to a .22 caliber bullet, the mantis shrimp strike is considered to be one of the fastest movements ever recorded in the animal kingdom.

Breaking waves and swirling water take on new meaning when viewed through the lens of an oceanographer. Join Jennifer MacKinnon as she illuminates how these dynamic small-scale phenomena hold the key to understanding global processes. Series: "Jeffrey B.

In his role as a Scripps Oceanography shark research biologist, Daniel Cartamil has traveled the Pacific coast of Baja California for over a decade. He discovered a fragile paradise of remote landscapes, wildlife, and cultural treasures, on the verge of being overtaken by modern civilization. Science and art converge as we take a photographic journey through western Baja California illustrated with breathtaking photography from Cartamil’s new book, “Baja’s Wild Side.” Series: "Jeffrey B.

Scripps Oceanography's Octavio Aburto examines how Mangroves, trees that form forests in the transition between land and sea, provide an essential habitat for a great diversity of plants and animals and why it is vital to put enormous efforts into understanding the value of mangrove ecosystems.

Rosina Bierbaum, formerly of President Obama's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) and an Adaptation Fellow at the World Bank, shows how climate change will affect all regions and sectors of the economy, and disproportionately affect the poorest people on the planet. Therefore, improving the resilience, adaptation, and preparedness of communities must be a high priority, equal to that of achieving deep greenhouse gas reductions,and rapid development and deployment of innovative technologies, as well as altered planning and management strategies, will be needed in the coming decades to achieve a sustainable world.
