The Ocean Brief
Short ocean stories and insights covering science, policy, innovation, and the ocean community
A glimmer of hope from the IPCC
The climate crisis is here, but it’s not too late to stave off the worst impacts. Not convinced? Let’s look at some of the small—and yes, imperfect—steps we’ve taken so far.
An (unanswered) question of Chemistry. Part 1
Members of the Canadian Journal of Chemistry’s International Advisory Board weigh in on the most important unanswered questions in their field.
Monitoring the air-sea interface
There are few places on earth as dynamic as the boundary between ocean and atmosphere. Measuring these dynamics is tricky, but a suite of in-situ and ex-situ instruments gives us a glimpse into the air-sea interface.
How chemistry contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals
There are seventeen intertwining Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) spanning some 169 targets, ranging from combatting world hunger to fostering peace, protecting life on land and in the sea, and building partnerships. Here, members of the Canadian Journal of Chemistry's International Advisory Board highlight just a few of how the field of chemistry is helping us rise to the challenges set by the goals and deliver on the promise to Leave No One Behind.
