Hydroacoustic signals captured by the world’s international nuclear monitoring system suggest an underwater landslide may ...

What happens if you take a handful of biological oceanographers, a helping of marine biologists, one seabird expert, add in a ...

The study of the processes that lead to the formation, growth, and precipitation of clouds in the boundary layer of the lower atmosphere. Develops models and analyzes observations to understand the ...

The primary area of research is air-sea interaction, including the topics of surface wave dynamics, air-sea fluxes, upper ocean turbulence, including Langmuir circulations, and the remote sensing of ...

Develops models and analyzes observations to understand the microphysical and chemical evolution of aerosol particles in the atmosphere. Studies fundamental physical processes that govern terrestrial ...

Understanding the chemical processes affecting minerals, water, and air at or just below the earth's surface, typically below about 200 degrees C.

We use sequence-based approaches, flow cytometry, modeling, and other techniques to explore the structure and function of microbial communities. CalCOFI is a long-term, interdisciplinary, ...

The study of the oceans and ecology of marine organisms in the geologic past, largely through the marine sedimentary record. The Human Ecology Laboratory groups together students and researchers to ...

Cryosphere and polar science study the frozen water part of the Earth system, ranging from the glaciers of Greenland to the ice sheets of the Antarctic. Antarctica photo by Jack Pan.

The group focuses on observing and modeling coastal processes including beach evolution, cliff erosion, and nearshore waves. CW3E provides water cycle science, technology and outreach to support ...

Measuring the movement of defined points on the earth's surface to better understand the stresses and strains affecting the crust and upper mantle.

Studying the tectonic forces within the Earth give rise to continents, ocean basins, mountain ranges, earthquake belts, and most volcanoes, along with the resulting deformation of geological ...
