Sea spray has been suggested to enable the transfer of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) from the ocean to the atmosphere, but only a few studies support the role of sea spray aerosols (SSAs) as a source of airborne particles. We demonstrated that MNPs are aerosolized during wave action, via SSAs, under controlled laboratory conditions. We used a mini...
From 2014 to 2021 during the cyclone seasons, extensive monitoring of the hydrodynamics within a variety of lagoons of New Caledonia was conducted as a part of the PRESENCE project (PRESsures on coral Ecosystems of New CalEdonia). The PRESENCE project is aimed at building an efficient representation of the land-lagoon-ocean continuum at Grande Terr...
Reliable sub-seasonal forecast of precipitation is essential to manage the risk of multi-year droughts in a timely manner. However, comprehensive assessments of sub-seasonal prediction skill of precipitation remain limited, particularly during multi-year droughts. This study used various verification metrics to assess the sub-seasonal prediction sk...
The growing availability of long-term and large-scale passive acoustic recordings open the possibility of monitoring the vocal activity of elusive oceanic species, such as fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus), in order to acquire knowledge on their distribution, behavior, population structure and abundance. Fin whales produce low-frequency and high-i...
The assumption that boron concentration is a conservative property in seawater may not hold in polar seas where there is sea ice formation, ice melt and brine release, according to an analysis of Arctic brines, snow and sea ice samples. The Arctic Ocean is experiencing a net loss of sea ice. Ice-free Septembers are predicted by 2050 with intensifie...

Background: Covid-19 brings change to human life. Human should adapt with this condition. People with certain personality trait may respond differently to the same situation. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is important for regulation of human body function. It plays an important role in the physiological responses that arise in response to even...

Coastal oceans, known as the major nitrous oxide (N2O) source to the atmosphere, are increasingly subject to eutrophication and concurrent near-bottom hypoxia. The natural nitrogen cycle is likely to be altered markedly in hypoxic coastal oceans. However, the processes responsible for N2O production and emission remain elusive because of lacking fi...
