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

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, ...

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.

The group focuses on observing and modeling coastal processes including beach evolution, cliff erosion, and nearshore waves. CW3E provides water cycle science, technology and outreach to support ...

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 ...
