Extreme events in the marine environment, like marine heatwaves, are likely at least as important as changes in mean values for causing threats to biodiversity, with impacts on ecosystem services and consequences for human systems. The potential of human and natural systems to adapt to such changes remains unclear, but two recent articles in the high-impact journal PNAS look closer at the possibilities.

Physical oceanography encompasses observations and dynamics of the ocean. The research group focuses on the dynamics of large-scale flows like the Gulf Stream and the Meridional Overturning Circulation, and the circulation in high latitude regions. The group also studies turbulent dispersion, relevant for the spreading of pollution like plastics.
