Variations: Frontiers in western boundary current research

Western boundary current regions are often studied for their intensity of air-sea interaction and mesoscale variability, yet research addressing the implications of these characteristics for biogeochemical cycling has lagged behind. This latest edition of Variations, joint with US OCB, features articles discussing some of the most pressing research questions.

Variations webinar on November 14

Building on a recent workshop, the next edition of Variations will be joint with the Ocean Carbon Biogeochemistry Program looking at western boundary current regions of the ocean, which have characteristics ideal for the study of biophysical interactions and carbon cycle processes. The authors of the articles will be giving a webinar on Tuesday, November 14 at 1:00 pm ET.
