Fish Otoliths Contain Clues to Larval Distribution Mystery How do you track a moving target? It depends on the size of the target. WHOI fish ecologist Simon Thorrold and research associate Jennifer FitzGerald are taking aim at a very small target: larval Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). Like most marine fish, cod have a pelagic larval phase,…

June 1 marked the start of the Atlantic hurricane season. After last year’s extremely active and costly hurricane season, many are asking whether ocean warming, sea-level rise, and climate disruption are signaling a new, more intense hurricane regime. Should we in the Northeast do more to prepare for powerful hurricanes? To know what to expect,…

Seasonal Changes in Groundwater Flow Into the Coastal Ocean Fresh water from water tables under the land flows out into the coastal ocean from beneath the seabed, a flow known as submarine groundwater discharge (SGD). Researchers have found that such flow can have a very large impact on estuaries. Groundwater carries land-generated nitrogen compounds, plus…
