Sampling and Analysis Plan for Microplastic Monitoring in San Francisco Bay and Adjacent National Marine Sanctuaries: FINAL.
(San Francisco Estuary Institute and Aquatic Science Center, Richmond, CA, 2017)Plastic in the ocean, and more specifically microplastic (particles <5 mm), has been gaining global attention as a pervasive and preventable threat to the health of marine ecosystems. Microplastic is ingested by marine ... -
Sampling of basement fluids via Circulation Obviation Retrofit Kits (CORKs) for dissolved gases, fluid fixation at the seafloor, and the characterization of organic carbon.
(2020)The advanced instrumented GeoMICROBE sleds (Cowen et al., 2012) facilitate the collection of hydrothermal fluids and suspended particles in the subseafloor (basaltic) basement through Circulation Obviation Retrofit Kits ... -
Satellite Radiation Products for Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry: Needs, State-of-the-Art, Gaps, Development Priorities, and Opportunities.
(2018)Knowing the spatial and temporal distribution of the underwater light field, i.e., the spectral and angular structure of the radiant intensity at any point in the water column, is essential to understanding the biogeochemical ... -
Satellite-based indicator of zooplankton distribution for global monitoring.
(2019)This study investigates the association between an index of mesozooplankton biomass, derived from the Continuous Plankton Recorder survey and satellite-derived productivity fronts in the North Atlantic. While chlorophyll-a ... -
Satellites will address critical science priorities for quantifying ocean carbon.
(2020)The ability to routinely quantify global carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption by the oceans has become crucial: it provides a powerful constraint for establishing global and regional carbon (C) budgets, and enables identification ... -
SBE 63 Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor With RS-232 Interface: user manual. Version 011.
(Sea-Bird Electronics Inc, Bellevue, WA, 2017)This manual is to be used with the SBE 63 Digital Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor. It is organized to guide the user from installation through operation and data collection. We’ve included detailed specifications, command ... -
Science-policy interface for plastic pollution.
(GRID-Arendal, Arendal, Norway, 2023)The international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution serves as a crucial mechanism for navigating the intricacies of the global plastic pollution crisis and fostering the development of evidence-based ... -
Science-Policy Interfaces: From Warnings to Solutions.
(International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), 2022)Key Messages and Recommendations • Since 1972, a variety of science-policy interfaces (SPIs) have been deployed in global environmental governance to identify environmental risks and propose solutions. • The landscape ... -
SeaFlux: harmonization of air–sea CO2 fluxes from surface pCO2 data products using a standardized approach.
(2021)Air–sea flux of carbon dioxide (CO2) is a critical component of the global carbon cycle and the climate system with the ocean removing about a quarter of the CO2 emitted into the atmosphere by human activities over the ... -
