The ocean has provided incredible services for us — taking up 28% of carbon emissions since preindustrial levels and absorbing 93% of the Earth’s excess heat since the 1970s — but because of this, it is undergoing changes. In order to manage ocean ecosystems and resources in the future, we must begin to understand what those changes may look like using climate change impact projections.
A symposium in honor of Nereus Principal Investigator at Princeton University Jorge Sarmiento called “Modeling a Living Planet” will be held from March 14 to 15 at Princeton. Nereus Principal…
Climate change is expected to have major impacts on the ocean, the species that live there, and the people who rely it for their food and livelihood. Since the beginning of the 20th century, CO2 emissions from human activities have altered physical and chemical properties of the ocean. The ocean has become warmer and, in some areas, less oxygenated, which has caused changes in the productivity and distribution of marine species.
Workshop to be held at GFDL, with participating by several Nereus personnel, including Charlie Stock, William Cheung, and Rebecca Asch
Scientists play a pivotal role in shaping climate change discussion. But for William Cheung, it’s more than that. Being a scientist means digging deeper and highlighting undercovered topics. Cheung, Associate…
