Global climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of upwelling
events in the California Current Ecosystem, yielding concurrent reductions in pH and …

Climate change is increasing the rate of glacial recession in high latitude coastal
environments. The associated increase in cold, sediment-laden freshwater into the …

Acidification-induced changes in neurological function have been documented in several
tropical marine fishes. Here, we investigate whether similar patterns of neurological impacts …

This body of work explores dynamics of temperate marine grazers that are sensitive to food
availability and inhabit regions with dramatic contemporary variation in abiotic conditions …

As the oceans absorb excess heat and CO2 from the atmosphere, marine primary producers
face significant changes to their abiotic environments and their biotic interactions with other …

Pinto abalone (Haliotis kamtschatkana) is the only abalone species found in the Salish Sea
