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.
Ecosystem modelling paints a devastating picture for top marine predators by 2099
Without effective carbon mitigation the ocean would lose 18% of animal biomass by 2099 relative to the present day.
Ecosystem modelling to support fisheries management efforts in the Nyali-Mombasa area, coastal Kenya

Scenarios for investigating the future of Canada’s oceans and marine fisheries under environmental and socioeconomic change
CORU Leader William Cheung recently co-authored a paper published in Regional Environmental Change that reviewed existing methods of scenario analysis (preparing for future response based on multiple potential outcomes) in the marine conservation and fisheries sectors in Canada. Their aim was to determine whether these scenario analyses in the existing literature adequately consider biophysical, socioeconomic and policy-related factors to “provide […]
