In the vicinity of tipping points—or more precisely bifurcation points—ecosystems recover
slowly from small perturbations. Such slowness may be interpreted as a sign of low …

There is an apparent gap between the prominence of present theoretical frameworks
involving ecological thresholds and regime shifts, and the paucity of efforts to conduct simple …

The ice arches that usually develop at the northern and southern ends of Nares Strait play
an important role in modulating the export of Arctic Ocean multi-year sea ice. The Arctic …

The Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO), the dominant year-round pattern of monthly North
Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) variability, is an important target of ongoing research …

Empirical studies of climate regime shifts typically use confirmatory statistical techniques
with an a priori hypothesis about the timing of the shifts. Although there are methods for an …

The new edition of this widely respected text provides comprehensive and up-to-date
coverage of the effects of biological–physical interactions in the oceans from the microscopic …

The California Current System (CCS) is forced by the distribution of atmospheric pressure
and associated winds in relation to the west coast of North America. In this paper, we begin …

This paper focuses on the ecosystem regime shift in the North Sea that occurred during the
period 1982–1988. The evidence for the change is seen from individual species to key …

The oceans cover the majority of the Earth's surface; they influence our climate and provide
a valuable source of food to billions of people. Yet despite its fundamental impact on our …
