Research in the Dead Sea reveals how tiny water motions and double-diffusive instabilities create massive salt deposits, offering insights into ancient geological events and coastal erosion.

An overview of meteotsunamis, atmospheric-generated waves that pose hazards to Great Lakes beachgoers and mariners, and the challenges in forecasting these events.

GPS-tracked drifters reveal how surface currents and wind transport plastic pollution in Nottawasaga Bay, Georgian Bay, highlighting accumulation zones and fragmentation risks.

A tribute to Brian Eadie (1944–2024), a respected leader in Great Lakes biogeochemistry and sediment resuspension research who mentored generations of scientists at NOAA GLERL.

A personal reflection on sailing the Great Lakes, capturing the beauty and power of water movement through photography and stories of the Chicago to Mackinac race.

Seiche events in Lake Ontario can resuspend sediments and release sequestered phosphorus into the water column, impacting nutrient retention in coastal wetlands.

A clear distinction between storm surges (driven by wind and pressure) and seiches (oscillatory responses), explaining their different dynamics and impacts on Great Lakes coastal communities.
