Blue oak trees along the California coast are particularly sensitive to winter precipitation Bryan Black assistant professor of marine science at the University of Texas at Austin told Live Science.

and the well-being of the marine ecosystem Black explained. The winters we see robust growth in the trees we see poor growth in the marine ecosystem Black said.

Coastal upwelling happens during the winter when a strong high-pressure weather system develops along the west coast of the continent.

These organisms are the backbone of the marine ecosystem and support huge populations of fish and seabirds.

This makes it difficult for marine scientists to spot any long-term trends. By studying tree-ring patterns however researchers can piece together a much longer record of how coastal upwelling has changed.

To determine how upwelling influenced marine life the researchers used data on yearly fish population growth since the 1940s along with data on seabird egg laying and the survival of baby seabirds since the 1970s.

#Ruins of Bustling Port Unearthed at Egypt's Giza Pyramids TORONTO The remains of a bustling port

while a newly discovered basin that may be part of a harbor is located by the Khentkawes town.

Several discoveries at the city and Khentkawes town suggest Giza was a thriving port said archaeologist Mark Lehner the director of Ancient Egypt Research Associates.

See Photos of Amazing Discoveries at Giza's Pyramids This basin may be an extension of a harbor

and these could have been brought down the Nile river to Giza's port. Giza was the central port then for three generations Khufu Khafre Menkaure said Lehner in his presentation referring to the three pharaohs who built pyramids at Giza.

A military presence Where there is a port there are sailors. At the city the archaeologists found evidence that a series of long buildings called galleries held troops who could have participated in voyages to the Levant and possibly guarded VIPS while at Giza.

These galleries were about 23 feet (7 meters) high and each set was at least 113 feet (34.5 meters) long north to south.

but of elite crews of ships Lehner said. A pharaoh named Sahure had images in his valley temple (part of his pyramid complex) of troops near the king's ship of state he noted.

Lehner's suspicions that the galleries were meant for troops were reinforced in 2012 when the archaeologists discovered a broken hippo hip.

This ritual could have taken place at Giza at a public place such as the harbor the hippo meat (apparently quite tasty) being consumed afterwards by the troops in the galleries.
