Variation and Change of Upwelling Dynamics Detected in the World’s Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems

Global increases in temperature are altering land-sea temperature gradients. Bakun (1990) hypothesized that changes within these gradients will directly affect atmospheric pressure cells associated with the development of winds and will consequently …

Marine Heatwaves

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are increasing in duration and intensity at a global scale and are projected to continue to increase due to the anthropogenic warming of the climate. Because MHWs may have drastic impacts on fisheries and other marine goods …

Marine cold-spells

Characterising ocean temperature variability and extremes is fundamental for understanding the thermal bounds in which marine ecosystems have adapted. While there is growing evidence of how marine heatwaves threaten marine ecosystems, prolonged …

What and where? Predicting invasion hotspots in the Arctic marine realm

The risk of aquatic invasions in the Arctic is expected to increase with climate warming, greater shipping activity and resource exploitation in the region. Planktonic and benthic marine aquatic invasive species (AIS) with the greatest potential for …

Detecting Marine Heatwaves With Sub-Optimal Data

Marine heatwaves (MHWs), or prolonged periods of anomalously warm sea water temperature, have been increasing in duration and intensity globally for decades. However, there are many coastal, oceanic, polar, and sub-surface regions where our ability …

heatwaveR

An R package for the detection of heatwaves and cold-spells.

coastR

An R package with useful functions for coastal oceanography.

Detecting marine heatwaves with sub-optimal data

Research conducted on how sub-optimal a time series may be and still produce comparable marine heatwaves to an optimal time series.

Marine Heatwave Tracker: The app to see when and where marine heatwaves are happening around the world

The Marine Heatwave Tracker software provides all of the tools necessary to download, process, and visualise marine heatwaves (MHWs) globally. This web application may be set up to show the occurrence of MHWs around the world in near-real-time …
