An alliance of researchers including scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego will accelerate the quest to find life on other planets. The team received a $7 million NASA Astrobiology grant to aid the long-range goal of extracting secrets from present and past oceans on Mars, Jupiter’s icy moon Europa, and Saturn’s moon Enceladus.

For the first time, researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego and colleagues used data from a global network of data-gathering ocean floats known as Argo and pre-Argo records, along with a climate model, to attribute warming trends in the Southern Ocean to human-caused climate change including greenhouse gas emissions and depletion of the ozone layer. Sarah Gille, a physical oceanographer at Scripps and co-author of a new study, said the research validates how scientists have been interpreting long-term trends.
