Photosynthetic production of organic matter by microscopic oceanic phytoplankton fuels ocean ecosystems and contributes roughly half the Earth's net primary production. For 13 years, Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) mission provided first consistent, synoptic observations global ecosystems. Changes in surface chlorophyll concentration, biological property retrieved from SeaWiFS, have traditionally been used as a metric for abundance its distribution largely reflects patterns...
Intrusion of Upper Circumpolar Deep Water (UCDW), which was derived from the Antarctic Current (ACC), onto western Peninsula (WAP) shelf region in January 1993 provided a reservoir nutrient-rich, warmer water below 150 m that subsequently upwelled into upper column.Four sites, at topographically-induced upwelling UCDW occurred, were identi ed 50 km by 400 band along outer WAP continental shelf.One additional site wind-driven occurred also ed.Diatom-dominated phytoplankton assemblages always...
Worldwide, many species are responding to ongoing climate change with shifts in distribution, abundance, phenology, or behavior. Consequently, natural-resource managers face increasingly urgent conservation questions related biodiversity loss, expansion of invasive species, and deteriorating ecosystem services. We argue that our ability address these is hampered by the lack explicit consideration species' adaptive capacity (AC). AC a population cope climatic changes characterized three...
Abstract Resource managers have rarely accounted for evolutionary dynamics in the design or implementation of climate change adaptation strategies. We brought research and management communities together to identify challenges opportunities applying evidence from science support on‐the‐ground actions intended enhance species' potential. amalgamated input natural‐resource practitioners interdisciplinary scientists information needs, current knowledge that can fill those future avenues...
Reintroduction efforts are increasingly used to mitigate biodiversity losses, but frequently challenged by inadequate planning and uncertainty. High quality information about population status threats can be prioritize reintroduction restoration transform ad hoc approaches into opportunities for improving conservation outcomes at a landscape scale. We conducted comprehensive environmental DNA (eDNA) visual encounter surveys determine the distribution of native non-native aquatic species in...
Abstract Climate change uncertainty poses serious challenges to conservation efforts. One emerging strategy is identify and conserve climate refugia: areas relatively buffered from contemporary that enable persistence of valued resources. This management paradigm may be pursued at broad scales by leveraging existing resources placing them into a tangible framework stimulate further collaboration fosters decision‐making. Here, we describe for moving toward operationalizing refugia an...

Recent blooms of the toxigenic microalgae Pseudo-nitzschia spp. have led to mass mortality among dolphins, sea lions and birds along California coast, due domoic acid (DA) poisoning. Given broad range marine organisms susceptible DA poisoning, there is considerable concern that will far-reaching long-lasting negative impacts on coastal fisheries, diversity resilience ecosystems quality life in communities.

What constitutes an effective vision for a national weather enterprise? Can barriers to improving subseasonal and climate predictions be removed? are ethical considerations surrounding possible geoengineering approaches mitigating change? These some of the many questions raised during recent strategic planning retreat U.S. National Academies' Board on Atmospheric Sciences Climate (BASC).
