Charles Stock (Nereus Principal Investigator, NOAA/Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory), Kelly Kearney (Nereus Alumni, Princeton), Yoshitaka Ota (Nereus Director, Policy, UBC) and William Cheung (Nereus Director, Science, UBC) participated in the ICES/PICES Workshop on Modelling Effects of Climate Change on Fish and Fisheries organized by NOAA in Seattle, from August 10 to 12.
A pair of articles has been published in ScienceNordic, the “English-language source for science news from the Nordic countries”, on the Nereus report Predicting Future Oceans – Climate Change, Oceans & Fisheries and Nereus Co-director William Cheung’s paper “Contrasting futures for ocean and society from different anthropogenic CO2 emissions scenarios” published in Science.
William Cheung, Co-Director of the Nereus Program and Principle Investigator, attended the Third Author Meeting of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) from July 27 to 31, in Beijing, China. William is a Coordinating Lead Author for the IPBES assessment on Policy Support Tools and Methodology for Scenario Analysis and Modelling of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services.
William Cheung and Yoshitaka Ota, Co-Directors of the Nereus Program, recently attended the Our Common Future under Climate Change conference in Paris to present findings from the program on the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems and fisheries. The conference, held from July 7 to 10, saw nearly 2000 participants from 100 countries come together to discuss all aspects of scientific knowledge on climate change.
This past week, the Nereus Program released a report on the future of the world’s oceans and William Cheung, Co-Director, also published a paper in Science on future oceans under different CO2 emissions scenerios. The following is a list of some of the local and international media coverage.
On June 26, William Cheung and Yoshitaka Ota presented their work on ocean fisheries, climate change and indigenous fisheries at Dr Shinichi Ito Lab (atmosphere and ocean research institute) at…
A report entitled “Predicting Future Oceans: Climate Change, Oceans & Fisheries” newly released by the Nereus program, an international interdisciplinary research program aimed at predicting future oceans, suggests that future seafood supply in the world will be substantially altered by climate change, overfishing and habitat destruction if we do not take actions.
The Nereus Program will be releasing key findings from the first four years of the program in its Future Ocean Research Report. This report, to be released July 1, 2015,…
