FjordLight

An R package to aid in accessing the fjord PAR data product created for the FACE-IT project.

A dataset for investigating socio-ecological changes in Arctic fjords

The collection of in situ data is generally a costly process, with the Arctic being no exception. Indeed, there has been a perception that the Arctic is lacking in situ sampling; however, after many years of concerted effort and international …

heatwave3

An R package for the detection of heatwaves and cold-spells directly on NetCDF files.

Drivers of change in Arctic fjord socio-ecological systems: Examples from the European Arctic

Fjord systems are transition zones between land and sea, resulting in complex and dynamic environments. They are of particular interest in the Arctic as they harbour ecosystems inhabited by a rich range of species and provide many societal benefits. …

Sea Ice and Substratum Shape Extensive Kelp Forests in the Canadian Arctic

The coastal zone of the Canadian Arctic represents 10% of the world’s coastline and is one of the most rapidly changing marine regions on the planet. To predict the consequences of these environmental changes, a better understanding of how …

Kelp in the Eastern Canadian Arctic: Current and Future Predictions of Habitat Suitability and Cover

Climate change is transforming marine ecosystems through the expansion and contraction of species’ ranges. Sea ice loss and warming temperatures are expected to expand habitat availability for macroalgae along long stretches of Arctic coastlines. To …

A novel approach to quantify metrics of upwelling intensity, frequency, and duration

The importance of coastal upwelling systems is widely recognized. However, several aspects of the current and future behaviors of these systems remain uncertain. Fluctuations in temperature because of anthropogenic climate change are hypothesized to …

Drivers of Marine Heatwaves in the Northwest Atlantic: The Role of Air–Sea Interaction During Onset and Decline

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are increasing in duration and intensity at a global scale and are projected to continue to increase due to the anthropogenic warming of the climate. Because MHWs may have drastic impacts on fisheries and other marine goods …

Variation and Change of Upwelling Dynamics Detected in the World’s Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems

Global increases in temperature are altering land-sea temperature gradients. Bakun (1990) hypothesized that changes within these gradients will directly affect atmospheric pressure cells associated with the development of winds and will consequently …

Marine Heatwaves

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are increasing in duration and intensity at a global scale and are projected to continue to increase due to the anthropogenic warming of the climate. Because MHWs may have drastic impacts on fisheries and other marine goods …
