Scientists Bring the Ocean into the Lab in SeaSCAPE Project

A specialized wave tank at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego is facilitating an unprecedented study on the impacts of human pollution on the climate. This summer, the NSF Center for Aerosol Impacts on Chemistry of the Environment (CAICE) at UC San Diego is leading the Sea Spray Chemistry And Particle Evolution project, or SeaSCAPE, a novel experiment in which scientists are unraveling complex ocean-atmosphere interactions. The focus of the project is to understand how human pollution interacts and reacts with ocean emissions of gases and aerosols—and ultimately affects cloud formation, air quality, and climate. Funding for the experiment comes from the National Science Foundation. #Pollution #ClimateChange #Ocean #Atmosphere Read the full news story here: Subscribe to Scripps Oceanography here: Subscribe to Scripps’ explorations now newsletter here: htt
