What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

Air-sea gas exchange is the movement of gases between the atmosphere and the ocean. Carbon dioxide enters and leaves the ocean through this process, and the global ocean takes up a quarter of human-emitted CO2 through this exchange. The same process regulates the air-sea exchange of oxygen and many other climatically and biologically important gases. Gas exchange is therefore central to understanding climate, marine ecosystems, and the global carbon cycle. However, the ocean surface is not a simple, flat boundary. Wind, waves, turbulence, temperature differences, surface films, rain, and bubbles all influence how rapidly gases cross it.
