GRAND CHALLENGES IN OCEANOGRAPHY

Catalog description

Examines how natural and anthropogenic perturbations of the ocean propagate across spatial and temporal scales and how observations and conceptual models have been used to identify and constrain ocean processes and state variables. Integrates knowledge and information across a range of oceanographic disciplines, including physics, chemistry, geology, and biology. Explores the practical and ethical challenges of learning how the ocean modulates climate and provides economic resources to a variety of stakeholders at local, regional and global scales.
