Analysis led by Vashan Wright, a geophysicist at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, provides the best evidence to date that the planet still has liquid water in addition to that frozen at its poles.
New research led by scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography reveals how rising water temperatures influence a deadly herpes virus in juvenile Pacific oysters in San Diego Bay. While the ostreid herpesvirus (OsHV-1) does not pose a threat to humans, it is capable of causing mass mortality events among oysters, potentially hindering oyster aquaculture operations.
Scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography have discovered the largest protein yet identified in biology.
