Graduate student Elisabeth Doty combines her passions for environmental science and data to tell climate-related stories.

Half of Earth’s oceans are more than 3.2km deep. Beneath them lie cavernous plains untouched by sunlight, vast gaping trenches made by Earth’s tectonic plates shifting, and ranges of underwater ...

It’s part of the scenario in “The Day After Tomorrow,” but scientists differ over whether or how fast it may occur. A team ...

Abstract: Geophysical Doppler shifts measured by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) are influenced by the combination of ocean surface winds, waves, and currents. Accurate retrieval of radial surface ...

Accurate measurements of surface currents are crucial for coastal monitoring, rip current detection, and predicting the path of pollutants. Several methods exist to measure surface currents, some of ...

While we can’t usually observe coastal currents from the shoreline, water in the oceans of the world is in constant motion. Surface currents are driven by wind blowing across the sea surface, and ...
