Summary
This review article, published in the ICES Journal of Marine Science centennial issue, traces a century of scientific progress in understanding Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS). It covers the evolution from early theoretical formulations of wind-driven coastal upwelling to a modern multidisciplinary field integrating physics, biogeochemistry, and ecology. The article highlights how coastal upwelling sustains some of Earth's most productive marine ecosystems and plays a disproportionate role in the global carbon cycle and climate system.
