Destructive free radicals exist in marine ecosystems and are thought to degrade the cells of phytoplankton and other organisms. A new paper, however, suggests that these molecules actually play a beneficial role, upending some conventional wisdom.

California already has the most volatile water resources in the country. Scripps scientists discovered that the state’s precipitation, as it becomes less frequent but preferentially stronger, will vacillate even more wildly between extremes of drought and flooding as a consequence of climate change.

For the first time oceanographers monitored a polynya – or gap – in Antarctic winter sea ice. It was an opportunity that came about as a result of uncanny timing and a seasoned Scripps oceanographer’s knowledge of the sea.

A team of researchers led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego has created a scale to characterize the strength and impacts of “atmospheric rivers,” long narrow bands of atmospheric water vapor pushed along by strong winds.

An event that occurred nearly 20 years ago led to a profound ecological upheaval in Antarctica. Now researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and colleagues report on what that event and its aftermath can tell society about the ability of marine life to adapt to sudden change.
