Physical oceanography and climate change
Ocean circulation and algal blooms
Oceanographers study how changes in ocean circulation affect populations of microscopic marine algae.
Ocean cycles and climate change
Researchers study large-scale physical and biological cycles in the ocean. Many of these cycles are related to cyclic processes in the Earth's atmosphere, such as the seasons, El Niño events, and long-term climate changes.
