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,…

All welcome to join, listen, discuss, and build community!
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…

Satellite Measurements of Sea Level Change: What are they telling us about the future?
Abstract: Satellite altimetry (TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, Jason-2, Jason-3, Sentinel-6) and satellite gravity (GRACE and GRACE Follow-On) measurements have provided a wealth of new information on how sea level has been changing over the last few decades. With 30-year and 20-year time…
The WMIS Student Seminar Series is a low-stakes seminar where students have the freedom to talk about whatever interests them (both personally and professionally). You can volunteer to present or nominate someone here.
All students from all disciplines/programs are encouraged to present and all students, postdocs, and staff are welcome to attend.
