…dumpsites have a distinct chemical fingerprint that could be traced into the marine food web including into marine mammals. With this funding, chemical and biological oceanographers at Scripps Oceanography, collaborating with San Diego State University, will analyze existing samples to fingerprint the unique chemistry of these sediments and assess DDT…

A team of researchers has developed a flexible, rechargeable silver oxide-zinc battery with a five to 10 times greater areal energy density than state of the art. The battery also is easier to manufacture; while most flexible batteries need to be manufactured in sterile conditions, under vacuum, thi

…responses of biological and chemical systems in reef environments. What potential impact—or transformation—do you see coming from this research? My research is fundamentally about understanding physical dynamics of environmental systems, focused on connections between the coast and the open ocean. From an engineering perspective, this research has implications for predicting…
