Talk Abstract: TBA
The climate system involves a variety of nonlinearly interacting physical processes spanning a broad range of spatial and temporal scales. To make simulations of the climate system computationally tractable, processes with scales smaller than the typical grid size of climate models have to be parameterized. Recently, there has been substantial interest (and progress) in using deep learning techniques to develop data-driven subgrid-scale (SGS) parameterizations for a number of key processes in the atmosphere, ocean, and other…
Please join us (online or in-person!) Tuesday, May 10th for a student research symposium exploring marine mammal acoustics, presented by students from the Mt. Edgecumbe High School in Sitka, Alaska and Oakland Technical High School in Oakland, CA. The symposium will take place on the gorgeous campus of Scripps Institution of Oceanography (masks required), and virtual attendees are welcome!
These students have contributed significantly to marine mammal research through an internship and technology training program, called SeaTech. In this program, high school students…

Talk Abstract:
Coastal groundwater is important to freshwater resources, ecosystem health, pollutant transport, and flooding in coastal communities. The evolution of groundwater levels, circulation, and salinities is affected by ocean tides, storm surges, and waves, the beach morphology, and aquifer properties. Meanwhile, the exchange of water between the ocean and the aquifer can affect sediment transport and surface water chemistry. Despite significant progress over the past decades, groundwater processes in and near the shoreline are not understood well. Here, the…
Join Scripps Oceanography for the first of two lectures by 2021 Robert L. and Betty P. Cody Award in Ocean Sciences recipient Laurie Reisberg of the Université de Lorraine.
Reisberg's presentation, "Clues to the Formation of the Subcontinental Lithosphere,” will take place Wednesday, May 4 at 3:00 p.m. at the Scripps Seaside Forum.
Description: The origin of the subcontinental lithosphere in non-cratonic regions remains poorly understood. This lithosphere,…

Talk Abstract:
Small-scale turbulent mixing in the ocean interior is believed to play an important role in the ocean circulation and the tracer distributions within. However, the extent to which the fluid dynamical subtleties of mixing impact the climate system, remains poorly quantified. Building on a number of case studies, in this talk, I will argue that on annual to millennial timescales, small-scale mixing is of leading-order importance for the ocean meridional overturning circulation (MOC), its internal variability, and tracer…
