GeoSpace is a blog on Earth and space science, managed by the American Geophysical Union (AGU)’s Public Information staff. The blog features posts by AGU writers and guest contributors on all sorts of relevant science topics, but with a focus on new research and geo and space sciences-related stories that are currently in the news.
Below are the stories selected by Dr. G that relate to the ocean sciences.
