Abstract From January 2014 to August 2016, sea surface temperatures (SSTs) along the
Washington, Oregon, and California coasts were significantly warmer than usual, reaching a …

Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) provide an important tool for conservation of marine
ecosystems. To be most effective, these areas should be strategically located in a manner …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) pose a significant threat to human and marine organism
health, and negatively impact coastal economies around the world. An improved …

Variations in large‐scale atmospheric forcing influence upwelling dynamics and ecosystem
productivity in the California Current System (CCS). In this paper, we characterize …

The red-throated diver (Gavia stellata) is listed on Annex I of the European Union Birds
Directive and requires protection within Special Protection Areas (SPAs), among other …

Mid to high-latitude marine ecosystems are characterized by strong intra-seasonal variability
in productivity across multiple trophic levels. It is understood that climate variability, as well …

Many productive ocean ecosystems are also highly variable, resulting in complex trophic
interactions. We analyzed interannual patterns in the diet of a seabird, the common murre …

The timing, duration, and intensity of wind‐driven upwelling and downwelling along the
North American Pacific coast play an integral role in coastal circulation and basinwide …

This study described the phenology and patterns of variability of forage fish and
mesozooplankton populations near the Columbia River plume. Our objective was to identify …

Regional sea surface temperature (SST) gradients were examined for a 6-year (2003–2008)
period using data from the NASA Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) …
