Harnessing the Oceans for Climate Solutions

During an episode of the podcast “Carbon Conversations,” Annalisa Bracco, professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, discusses her work and how computation tools can help us better understand the ocean, marine ecosystems, and climate dynamics.

Long-distance Reefs May Be Key to Coral Recovery From Bleaching in Moorea and Tahiti

Researchers, including Annalisa Bracco, professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, used modeling to demonstrate that the quick recovery of bleached corals in the past five mass bleaching events in Moorea and Tahiti (within the Society Islands of French Polynesia) may be the result of long-distance connectivity with the Tuamotu Islands and undisturbed coral reefs within a 300 km radius.

Airborne Lead and Chlorine Levels Soared as L.A. Wildfires Raged

Wildfires are becoming a bigger focus for scientists that study air pollution, said Nga Lee (Sally) Ng, professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. Ng is also the principal investigator of ASCENT, a new federally funded, national monitoring network that began last year to measure a wide range of air pollutants in real time. The readings from the Los Angeles area fires were captured at the network’s monitoring station in Pico Rivera, several miles from the active fires.
