Coastal to Ocean Futures

Human activity impacts the space surrounding us, including the marine environment; in turn, environmental changes, including oceanic ones, have ecosystems and human impacts.​

The processes include linkages between land and ocean, between the ocean and atmosphere, between biogeochemical cycles and climate, and climatic impacts on ecosystems, are complex and multi-faceted. ​

The research by members of this joint group extends in space from estuarine, in-shore, and coastal environments to continental shelves and the open, deep ocean, and in time from paleo-research, through hindcasts and contemporary studies, to future modeling.
