DOI: 10.1002/joc.5070
Abstract: Tropical cyclones (TCs) pose a significant risk to the nations and territories of the southwest Pacific (SWP). The spatio-temporal variability of TCs makes it challenging to forecast where and when a TC is likely to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2021gl094322
Abstract: As the abyssal oceans warm, stratification is also expected to change in response. This change may impact mixing and vertical transport by altering the buoyancy flux, internal wave generation, and turbulent dissipation. In this study,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mms.12373
Abstract: Understanding species distribution and behavior is essential for conservation programs of migratory species with recovering populations. The critically endangered Antarctic blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus intermedia) was heavily exploited during the whaling era. Because of their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.abm6536
Abstract: Micronesia began to be peopled earlier than other parts of Remote Oceania, but the origins of its inhabitants remain unclear. We generated genome-wide data from 164 ancient and 112 modern individuals. Analysis reveals five migratory… read more here.
