Biography
My research focuses on ocean and climate science and solutions (www.imanu.org). Specifically, large-scale ocean-atmosphere coupled dynamics, solutions for coastal resilience, climate and marine ecosystems dynamics. I am also Founding Chairman of Ocean Visions, a nonprofit that aims at catalyzing solutions for ocean & climate health (www.oceanvisions.org).

Marine heatwaves suppress ocean circulation and large vortices in the Gulf of Alaska
In a recent study published in Nature Communications Earth & Environment, OCE High School Interns working with Professor Emanuele Di Lorenzo found that marine heatwaves in the Gulf of Alaska have intensified since 2013, disrupting ocean currents known as eddies, which support marine life. Using 30 years of satellite data and climate models, the team examined how these heatwaves affect nutrient-rich ocean currents called eddies, which support phytoplankton. The study revealed that marine heatwaves create high-pressure conditions that weaken coastal circulation, reducing the formation of eddies and threatening marine life.
