Earlier in the year, AOS Postdoc Alon Stern participated in the making of a TV show about the Titanic and icebergs (the focus of his research), in conjunction with the Travel Channel. Titanic: Mysteries at the Museum is premiering on Thursday, December 29th at 9pm EST on the…

Polar plankton communities are among the most productive, seasonally-dynamic, and rapidly-changing ecosystems in the global ocean.  A study, coauthored by Jorge Sarmiento and published recently in Nature Geoscience, uses space-borne Light Detection…

Congratulations to AOS Associate Research Scholar Colleen Petrik who recently won an award at the PICES Conference for "Best Oral Presentation at scientific sessions sponsored by the Science Board." Her talk was titled, "The Response of…

Congratulations to Hannah Zanowski who successfully defended her Ph.D. Thesis, "The Influence of Antarctic Open-Ocean Polynyas on the Abyssal Ocean," on December 2, 2016

Applications are being accepted for presenters at the 2017 Princeton Research Day, the second annual campus-wide celebration of research and creative endeavors by the University's undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and other nonfaculty researchers. The May…

GFDL is hosting a Poster Expo on Wednesday, February 1, 2017 from 1pm-4pm.  The Winter Expo is an opportunity for GFDL/AOS/CICS scientists to share their research with colleagues.  Posters are limited to 30; new or existing posters are acceptable.

Article in Nature describes efforts by AOS Faculty Member Jorge Sarmiento (George J. Magee Professor of Geosciences and Geological Engineering, Princeton University/SOCCOM Director) and collaborators to gather first real-time data on processes that govern carbon in the Southern Ocean.

It has been long accepted that climate models project a large-scale rainfall decline in the future over the subtropics.  A new study, led by AOS Postdoctoral Research Associate Jie He and coauthored by Brian Soden (RSMAS), a former AOS postdoc, finds that most of the subtropical rainfall decline occurs over ocean, not land, suggesting that its…

A long-standing challenge for ocean carbon cycle research is identify the pathways and mechanisms regulating the entry of anthropogenic carbon into the ocean. A new study, using a water mass/density framework, has identified the key role of the shallow overturning circulation in forming the important subpolar mode water reservoirs for the…

The increasing trend of aerosol optical depth in the Middle East and a recent severe dust storm in Syria have raised questions as to whether dust storms will increase and promoted investigations on the dust activities driven by the natural climate variability underlying the ongoing human perturbations such as the Syrian civil war. A new study,…
