This month we spotlight work by MIT Darwin Project researchers who have been using MITgcm to explore the role of microzooplankton in regulating near surface organic matter.

Another new year, another research roundup! Best wishes to MITgcmers past, MITgcmers present and MITgcmers yet to come…

This month we look at new work by a team of Swiss researchers who have been using MITgcm to explore the ocean circulation associated with the global land distribution during the Jurassic.

This month we spotlight work by a team from the Chinese Academy of Science’s South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Guangzhou, China, who have been using MITgcm to investigate the interaction of internal solitary waves with mesoscale eddies.
