EVENTS Nov 28, 2012 7:00 pm ET - 8:00 pm ET Webinar for Undergrads: Tips on Finding and Applying to Paid Summer Research Programs Online MORE EVENTS   FEATURE STORY Global Nature, Regional Manifestation in the East China Sea Michael Kemp of COSEE Coastal Trends , studies hypoxia and his research is being used across the globe, including the East China Sea. Read More >> Impacts of Climate Change in the Antarctic Dr. Carrie Thomas's ( COSEE SouthEast ) Antarctica research focuses on potential shifts in food webs as climate change occurs. She is part of a team of researchers working on the West Antarctic Peninsula, an area that is experiencing some of the most rapid warming on Earth. Read More >> Reefs of the Future in Panama Dr. Peggy Fong of COSEE-West investigates how human disturbances are impacting coastal ecosystems, including coral reefs off Panama. Read More >> Shifting Challenges in Alaska COSEE Alaska researcher Dr. Michael Castellini does much of his field work in high latitudes. He has been to the Arctic countless times and made 15 expeditions to Antarctica, one lasting for an entire calendar year. Read More >> Ecology of Infectious Diseases Dr. Crystal Johnson ( COSEE Central Gulf of Mexico ) studies the strong relationship between temperature and population densities of vibrio pathogens in the Mississippi Sound and Gulf of Mexico. Read More >> Invasive Species The Great Lakes are particularly vulnerable to what's known as invasive species -- non-native plants and animals that threaten existing ecosystems. COSEE Great Lakes helps investigate. Read More >> Using New Ways to Explore and Observe Dr. Scott Glenn ( COSEE Networked Ocean World ) has pioneered the use of the underwater glider, an autonomous, mobile, long-duration sensor platform that is an integral part of the COOL network. Read More >> Investigating Carbon Flux In Nearshore Waters Funded by a chemical oceanography grant from NSF to investigate the flux of carbon in nearshore waters, Dr. Bob Chen of COSEE Ocean uses the Neponset salt marsh for his research. Read More >> Reading the Record Many processes of past life are recorded as signals in sediments at the bottom of lakes and the ocean. Paleo-oceanographers take those signals and reconstruct conditions of the past and investigate the gaps, led by reasearchers at COSEE-Ocean Learning Communities. Read More >> The North Atlantic Bloom Experiment COSEE-Ocean Systems is working with the North Atlantic Bloom Experiment, which was designed to study an important component of the oceanic carbon system - the North Atlantic spring bloom. Learn more about what they're doing . Read More >> Search for Culprits Researchers from COSEE-Pacific Partnerships look at Bellingham Bay, with its abundant fishing grounds and shellfish beds, which has been struck by contamination. Read More >> Corals Discovered in Acidic Submarine Springs Certain species of corals have been discovered living in the surprisingly acidic waters of the Caribbean's submarine springs, areas thought inhospitable to corals, a new survey has found. COSEE California's Adina Paytan, a study researcher with the University of California, Santa Cruz, investigates.
