Cellular elemental content of individual phytoplankton cells collected during US GEOTRACES North Atlantic Transect cruises in the Subtropical western and eastern North Atlantic Ocean during Oct and Nov, 2010 and Nov. 2011.
(Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2017-06-21)Phytoplankton contribute significantly to global C cycling and serve as the base of ocean food webs. Phytoplankton require trace metals for growth and also mediate the vertical distributions of many metals in the ocean. ... -
Accessing monomers, surfactants, and the queen bee substance by acrylate cross-metathesis of long-chain alkenones
(2017-05)Polyunsaturated long-chain alkenones are a unique class of lipids biosynthesized in significant quantities (up to 20% of cell carbon) by several algae including the industrially grown marine microalgae Isochrysis. Alkenone ... -
The role of Nrf1 and Nrf2 in the regulation of glutathione and redox dynamics in the developing zebrafish embryo
(Elsevier, 2017-05-30)Redox signaling is important for embryogenesis, guiding pathways that govern processes crucial for embryo patterning, including cell polarization, proliferation, and apoptosis. Exposure to pro-oxidants during this period ... -
Insight into the evolution of microbial metabolism from the deep-branching bacterium, Thermovibrio ammonificans
(eLife, 2017-04-24)Anaerobic thermophiles inhabit relic environments that resemble the early Earth. However, the lineage of these modern organisms co-evolved with our planet. Hence, these organisms carry both ancestral and acquired genes ... -
Decision-support for the economic analysis of trade-offs in coastal and marine spatial planning (CMSP) for the US northeast shelf large marine ecosystem
(2011-09-20)Coastal and marine spatial planning (CMSP) is a process for improving the management of coastal and marine resources in order to promote their sustainable development. Sustainability necessitates that decisions be made ... -
Evidence for fungal and chemodenitrification based N2O flux from nitrogen impacted coastal sediments
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-06-05)Although increasing atmospheric nitrous oxide (N2O) has been linked to nitrogen loading, predicting emissions remains difficult, in part due to challenges in disentangling diverse N2O production pathways. As coastal ... -
Data from: Sommer SA, Van Woudenberg L, Lenz PH, Cepeda G, Goetze E (in review) Vertical gradients in species richness and community composition across the twilight zone in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre
(Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2017-06-12)This dataset consists of metabarcoding data for the zooplankton community in the epipelagic, mesopelagic and upper bathypelagic zones (0-1500m) of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. The goal of this study was to assess ... -
NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA) accession numbers for fastq sequence files for each zooplankton community sample (Plankton Population Genetics project)
(Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2017-06-12)This data consists of metabarcoding data for the zooplankton community in the epipelagic, mesopelagic and upper bathypelagic zones (0-1500m) of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. The goal of this study was to assess the ... -
Metabarcoding zooplankton at station ALOHA: Operational taxonomic unit (OTU) tables and fasta files for representative sequences from each OTU (Plankton Population Genetics project)

Assimilating Lagrangian data for parameter estimation in a multiple-inlet system
(2017-04)Numerical models of ocean circulation often depend on parameters that must be tuned to match either results from laboratory experiments or field observations. This study demonstrates that an initial, suboptimal estimate ... -
Tropical cyclone activity enhanced by Sahara greening and reduced dust emissions during the African Humid Period
(2017-05)Tropical cyclones (TCs) can have devastating socioeconomic impacts. Understanding the nature and causes of their variability is of paramount importance for society. However, historical records of TCs are too short to ... -
Dimensions of continents and oceans – water has carved a perfect cistern
(2017-03-26)The ocean basins have almost exactly the correct surface area and average depth to hold Earth’s water. This study asserts that three processes are responsible for this. First, the crust is thickened by lateral compression ... -
Nitrogen fixation rates from samples collected in the Chukchi Sea, Arctic Ocean near Barrow, Alaska in August of 2011 (ArcticNITRO project)
(Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2017-06-08)This dataset provides rates of nitrogen fixation for the coastal Chukchi Sea near Barrow, Alaska. Nitrogen fixation supplies ‘new’ nitrogen to the global ocean and supports primary production and impacts global biogeochemical ... -
Total exchange flow, entrainment, and diffusive salt flux in estuaries
(American Meteorological Society, 2017-03-14)The linkage among total exchange flow, entrainment, and diffusive salt flux in estuaries is derived analytically using salinity coordinates, revealing the simple but important relationship between total exchange flow and ... -
Outbreak of an undetected invasive species triggered by a climate anomaly
(John Wiley & Sons, 2016-12-28)When an invasive species appears at a new location, we typically have no knowledge of the population dynamics leading up to that moment. Is the establishment of invasive propagules closely followed by the appearance of the ... -
Diploastrea heliopora Sr/Ca and δ18O records from northeast Luzon, Philippines : an assessment of interspecies coral proxy calibrations and climate controls of sea surface temperature and salinity
(John Wiley & Sons, 2017-04-30)The Indo-Pacific coral Diploastrea heliopora reveals regional multidecadal- to centennial- scale climate variability using coral carbonate δ18O (δ18Oc) as a combined proxy for sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface ... -
El Niño increases the risk of lower Mississippi River flooding
