Preeclampsia is a multisystemic cardiovascular pregnancy complication that endangers the lives of both mother and child. Its prevalence disproportionately burdens women of different races and ethnicities nationwide. Specifically, Hispanic women experience higher rates of preeclampsia compared to Non-Hispanic White women; however, the explanation for this phenomenon is still elusive. To decipher these disparate rates, environme...

Long‐lived calcifying marine biota are increasingly used as paleo‐archives for reconstructing ocean pH. They enable exploration of the rate and magnitude of ocean acidification in shallow‐water ecosystems serving as proxies for environmental pH reconstruction. However, shallow water systems often have highly variable carbonate chemistry, and the impact of this on the accuracy of pH reconstructions from long‐lived marine calcif...

The mass of well-preserved calcite in planktonic foraminifera shells provides an indication of the calcification potential of the surface ocean. Here we report the shell weight of 8 different abundant planktonic foraminifera species from a set of core-top sediments along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The analyses showed that near the equator, foraminifera shells of equivalent size weigh on average 1/3 less than those from the middle...

Ocean acidification typically reduces the calcification rates of massive Porites spp. corals, but increasing seawater temperatures (below the stress and bleaching threshold) can offset this effect. Here, we use δ 11 B to reconstruct the pH of the calcification media (pH ECM ) used to precipitate the skeleton in poritid corals cultured over a range of seawater pCO 2 and at 25 °C and 28 °C. Increasing temperature had no signific...

The new Coordinated Output for Regional Evaluations (CORDEX-CORE) ensemble provides high-resolution, consistent regional climate change projections for the major inhabited areas of the world. It serves as a solid scientific basis for further research related to vulnerability, impact, adaptation and climate services in addition to existing CORDEX simulations. The aim of this study is to investigate and document the climate chan...
