Physical Oceanographer Caroline Ummenhofer co-edits peer-reviewed book about the Indian Ocean.
In a new book published by Elsevier, an interdisciplinary team of experts takes a deeper dive into recent warming trends and extreme events, such as marine heatwaves, ocean acidification, and deoxygenation. “The Indian Ocean is particularly susceptible to human-induced climate change,” says one of the book’s editors, WHOI physical oceanographer Caroline Ummenhofer. “It is unusual among tropical ocean basins. It has seasonal reversal of monsoon winds and ocean currents in turn. It’s also landlocked to the north, limiting the ability for tropical heat to escape to higher latitudes.”
