IEEE Spectrum August 2011 Nicholas Makris	New Sonar Technology Reveals City-size Schools of Fish Low-frequency sound waves improve ocean sensing.
Geotimes February 2006 Naomi Lubick	Is Ocean Circulation Slowing Down? New measurements of temperature and salinity in the North Atlantic indicate that changes are occurring in this segment of the ocean's circulation that could eventually affect Earth's climate.
Geotimes March 2003 Greg Peterson	Effects of ocean noise on marine mammals still noisy A committee of acousticians, oceanographers and marine biologists found that surprisingly little is known about the long-term trends in ocean noise, and even less about its effects on marine mammals.
Geotimes January 2004 Naomi Lubick	Saltier sea Oceanographers have documented the growing saltiness of the Atlantic in the tropics, in opposition to freshening of the polar oceans. The changes in the sea-surface salinity indicate changes in the hydrologic cycle, the researchers say, which may be attributable to human-induced climate changes.
Geotimes November 2004 Naomi Lubick	Detecting Marine Gas Hydrates To better find large enough deposits to extract, scientists are working to improve seismic profiling techniques and other tools for better mapping of gas hydrates.
Geotimes June 2005 Naomi Lubick	Double-Crossing the Core A team of scientists has taken the properties of a mineral from the Earth's lower mantle, together with seismic observations of the core-mantle boundary, to propose a new model that could elucidate the heat engine that drives Earth.

Geotimes January 2007 Kathryn Hansen	Eruptive Event Caught Red-Handed Researchers know that, in general, mid-ocean ridges are the site of periodic eruptive events that create new seafloor. At the East Pacific Rise, determining the seismic characteristics that lead up to eruptions could help researchers predict when and where along the trench future events are likely to occur.
Geotimes October 2004 Naomi Lubick	Sound Data for Seismic Array In the fall of 2002, the R/V Maurice Ewing halted a seismic survey in the Gulf of California after two whales beached on the Baja side of the sound. The sound from the ship's array of air guns disturbed the marine mammals.
