The South China Sea is in the convergence zone of the Pacific plate, the Indo-Australian plate, and the Eurasian plate. Its formation and tectonic evolution were influenced by continental margin spreading and plate interaction between the three plates an...

On the southeastern coast of Brazil, the bays of Ilha Grande and Sepetiba are linked by the Ilha Grande Channel, where remarkably strong currents have been consistently observed. Tidal forces cannot explain the strength of these currents. Previous resear...

Tropical cyclones (TCs) exert a significant influence on the upper ocean, leading to sea surface temperature (SST) changes on a global scale. However, TC-induced SST responses exhibit considerable variability in the northern Indian Ocean (NIO), and the g...

The Mediterranean Sea is of great and manifold relevance for global oceanic circulation and climate: Mediterranean waters profoundly affect the salinity of the North Atlantic Ocean and hence the global ocean circulation. Ocean motions are forced fundamen...

Gold and other metals (Cu, Zn, Ag, etc.) are enriched in vent fluids, approximately 3?5 orders of magnitude higher than those in seawater, and this leads to the formation of sulfide enrichment in Cu, Zn, Au, and Ag deposited on the mid-ocean ridge and is...

Inter-basin water exchanges can be quite important in climatic-scale numerical studies simulating the circulation and hydrographic characteristics of neighboring oceanic basins connected through narrow straits. The crucial role of the interaction between...

The sea surface temperature (SST) is an important factor and indicator of the sea water quality, with various ecological and anthropogenic implications. We used high-resolution satellite-derived SST data, in tandem with field observations and long-term m...

Precipitation is a crucial source of data in hydrological applications for water resources management. However, several regions suffer from limited data from a ground measurement network. Remotely sensed data may provide a viable alternative for these re...
