Charles “Chip” Cox, a professor emeritus at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, passed away on Nov. 30, 2015. Cox conducted research on oceanic electromagnetic fields and the exploration of small-scale ocean structures, including measuring fine-scale fluctuations in temperature and salinity within ocean waters to understand the intensity of ocean turbulence.

Scripps researchers are using sea urchins to help understand proteins relevant to human and environmental health. Cell proteins called drug transporters have been known to prevent chemotherapy and other drugs from reaching cells in disease treatment. Hamdoun and his colleagues have identified the role of a drug transporter in the early life stages of the sea urchin gut. The results could lead to new ways to target cancer drug resistance and to prevent birth defects.

A key earthquake monitoring network operated by UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography will continue with funding support from Seismic Warning Systems Inc. The $700,000 gift will sponsor operations of the ANZA Seismic Network, which features earthquake monitoring stations in San Diego and Riverside counties. The state-of-the art system provides the best coverage of the San Jacinto fault zone, considered the most active fault in Southern California.
