Whence comes the name “Escanaba”?
As the Escanaba Trough expedition wraps up, there remains one somewhat prosaic mystery: Why do we call this seafloor spreading center Escanaba Trough?

Opportunities to improve alignment with the FAIR Principles for U.S. Geological Survey data
In 2016, an interdisciplinary, international group of 53 scientists introduced a framework named “the FAIR Principles” for addressing 21st century scientific data challenges. The FAIR Principles are increasingly used as a guide for producing digital scientific products that are findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR), especially to enable use of such products in automated systems.
The role of pH up-regulation in response to nutrient-enriched, low-pH groundwater discharge
Coral reefs and their ecosystems are threatened by both global stressors, including increasing sea-surface temperatures and ocean acidification (OA), and local stressors such as land-based sources of pollution that can magnify the effects of OA. Corals can physiologically control the chemistry of their internal calcifying fluids (CF) and can thereby regulate their calcification process. Specifical
