This paper is particularly relevant to investigations into the spread of organisms that remain close to shore over timescales of days-to-weeks, e.g., the spread of marine non-native species and pathogenetic parasites, but is equally relevant to simulations tracking the dispersal of eDNA or coastal pollutants such as oil and plastics.
This paper develops a coupling between SWAN and Thetis models to account for wave–current interactions occurring by the co-existence of wave and current flows. The different grids and time-steps employed by the model components allow greater flexibility. The two models run consecutively, and communicate internally to exchange the necessary parameters. These are the significant wave height, mean wave direction, mean wavelength and percentage of wave-breaking calculated by SWAN necessary for calculating radiation stress and wave roller effects, while Thetis provides water elevation and current velocity fields.
Shows how practical economic levers can make the shipping industry more environmentally sustainable.
World Oceans day is celebrated every year on June 8th and this year the theme is "Planet Ocean: tides are changing". Elsevier is proud to share this special collection of impactful and freely accessible journal articles and book chapters in support of this important event.

As we traverse the ever-evolving landscape of the 21st century, our planet's health has become an increasingly critical point of concern. Earth Day, a global observance marked every year on April 22, provides a vital platform to raise awareness about pressing environmental issues and encourage action towards sustainable solutions. As we gear up for Earth Day 2024, the theme remains unknown, but the commitment to global ecological responsibility remains stronger than ever.

Monitoring the ocean carbon cycle is key to improved understanding. Satellites play a major role in our global carbon monitoring system. To make full use of satellite observations for ocean carbon monitoring the remote-sensing community needs to work closely with in-situ data experts, physical and biogeochemical modellers, Earth system scientists, climate scientists and marine policy experts.
