Oceanographic connectivity: finding the climate change signal

Overview. Where do things drift in the ocean? This simple question is incredibly important for many applications, from marine ecology to tracking plastic pollution, yet we still lack a robust understanding of how drift through ocean currents may change in the future. Read more
