We use hydrographic data from the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations program to explore the spatial and temporal variability of dissolved oxygen (DO) in the southern California…
Tracking apex marine predator movements in a dynamic ocean
It is shown that top predators exploit their environment in predictable ways, providing the foundation for spatial management of large marine ecosystems, and critical habitats across multinational boundaries are identified.
Predicted habitat shifts of Pacific top predators in a changing climate

Climate change scenarios predict an average sea surface temperature rise of 1–6 °C by 2100. Now, a study investigating the potential effect of these changes on the distribution and diversity of…

Overall, reported changes in coastal winds, although subtle and spatially variable, support Bakun’s hypothesis of upwelling intensification in eastern boundary current systems.
Impacts of the 2015–2016 El Niño on the California Current System: Early assessment and comparison to past events
The 2015–2016 El Niño is by some measures one of the strongest on record, comparable to the 1982–1983 and 1997–1998 events that triggered widespread ecosystem change in the northeast Pacific. Here we…
