A New Record of Planktic Foraminifera Community Response to Marine Heatwaves in the Northeast Pacific

Creator:

M. Kelsey Lane

Abstract:

Marine heat waves are forecasted to increase in frequency and intensity under future climate scenarios, but little is known about the impact of these events on the one of the most commonly used proxies of ocean temperature - foraminiferal assemblages. This research explores the planktic foraminifera community along the Newport...

Marine Heatwaves Influence Depth Preferences of Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:

Teahan, Andrew

Abstract:

Marine heatwaves have become more common over the past several years. The 2014-2015 ‘warm blob’ had profound effects on marine ecosystems in the Northeast Pacific. Given the particular habitat needs of Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) we wanted to examine the impacts of the heatwave on Chinook depth distribution. We examined...

Professional Development Training in Ocean Acidification: A Case Study of Marine Resource Managers

Creator:

Moses, Michael L.

Abstract:

Ocean acidification (OA) is the result of increasing concentrations of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, leading to a suite of alterations to specific parameters of ocean chemistry, which can negatively impact many marine organisms and ecosystems. Understanding how to measure and monitor the chemistry of OA will require specialized education...
