In a recent publication, former DEEPS postdoc Lily Dove and team investigate upper ocean vertical velocities by using high resolution sea surface height observations collected by the Surface Water and Ocean Topography altimeter along with interior hydrographic measurements from ocean gliders. "This analysis is a step towards generating temporally-varying vertical tracer fluxes for the circumpolar Southern Ocean."

Local residents and researchers are working together in a community-led effort called "WaterSpeak" to test the air, water and soil in the Port of Providence. DEEPS Assistant Professor Mara Freilich has partnered with the People’s Port Authority, a grassroots environmental organization, to help community scientist investigate questions to understand how pollution is affecting the community. The team also plans collaborate with Breathe Providence, a research team at Brown University that tracks neighborhood air quality across the city, including along Allens Avenue.

The new Campus Geology Field Guide invites users to explore Brown University's campus through a geological lens by learning basic rock types, uncovering campus history, or diving deeper into mineral identification. This free resource was organized by DEEPS graduate students Hannah Shabtian and Emily Fischer, and researched by their Brown Pre-College course as a hands-on exploration of geology and science communication.
