How do mesoscale eddies modulate CO2 fluxes in the Southern Ocean?

How do mesoscale eddies modulate CO2 fluxes in the Southern Ocean?

Mesoscale eddies and Southern Ocean carbon sink The Southern Ocean takes up more than a quarter of the anthropogenic CO₂. Its powerful westerly winds, deep overturning circulation, and intense mixing make it a major player in Earth’s climate system. But beneath this large-scale picture lies a world of swirling, dynamic structures that constantly reshape the …[Read More]

Turbulence (and not only): The Legacy of Vincenzo Carbone, 2025 Richardson Medal

Turbulence (and not only): The Legacy of Vincenzo Carbone, 2025 Richardson Medal

One year ago, Vincenzo Carbone left us. Vincenzo was a leading scientist in nonlinear geophysics, turbulence, and complex systems, influencing fluid and plasma physics, weather and space weather, solar–terrestrial relations, and climate dynamics. Yet for those who worked closely with him, his legacy goes well beyond his remarkable scientific achievements. Scientific Contributions and Impact Over …[Read More]

Understanding geodynamic modelling results through maps of neural networks

Understanding geodynamic modelling results through maps of neural networks

The huge amount of data produced in Geosciences is increasing exponentially, and numerical modelling has become a key tool for understanding tectonic evolution over time, which also increases the volume of data produced. Here, I, João Bueno (PhD student at University of São Paulo, Brazil)  will present how a machine learning technique known as Self-Organising …[Read More]
