Discovering the dynamics of \emph{Sargassum} rafts' centers of mass
Francisco J. Beron-Vera, Gage Bonner
Since 2011, rafts of floating \emph{Sargassum} seaweed have frequently obstructed the coasts of the Intra-Americas Seas. The motion of the rafts is represented by a high-dimensiona…

Geodesic vortex detection on curved surfaces: Analyzing the 2002 austral stratospheric polar vortex warming event
Fernando Andrade-Canto, Francisco J. Beron-Vera, Gage Bonner
Geodesic vortex detection is a tool in nonlinear dynamical systems to objectively identify transient vortices with flow-invariant boundaries that defy the typical deformation found…

Charting the course of \emph{Sargassum}: Incorporating nonlinear elastic interactions and life cycles in the Maxey--Riley model
Gage Bonner, Francisco J Beron-Vera, Maria J. Olascoaga
The surge of pelagic \emph{Sargassum} in the Intra-America Seas, particularly the Caribbean Sea, since the early 2010s has raised significant ecological concerns. This study emphas…
