International Year of the Salmon Expedition helps IOF researchers map North Pacific food webs

International Year of the Salmon Expedition helps IOF researchers map North Pacific food webs

For scientists in the IOF’s Pelagic Ecosystems Lab, the trip represents a chance to trace the outline of North Pacific food webs, in which salmon play a central role as both predator and prey.

Massive “ensemble” climate modelling study includes work of multiple IOF researchers

Massive “ensemble” climate modelling study includes work of multiple IOF researchers

The project used nine different computer models, created by different teams around the world, to illustrate with greater clarity and range how ocean life will be impacted by Earth’s warming climate.

2021 World Ocean Day – Dr. Jacqueline Maud

2021 World Ocean Day – Dr. Jacqueline Maud

Marine protected areas aim to preserve ecosystem health in the oceans from the top down; Maud’s research looks at the ecosystem more from the bottom-up, and thinks that MPAs can “be tricky.”
