It's about time: A synthesis of changing phenology in the Gulf of Maine ecosystem. [PDF]
The timing of recurring biological and seasonal environmental events is changing on a global scale relative to temperature and other climate drivers. This study considers the Gulf of Maine ecosystem, a region of high social and ecological importance in ...

Recent warming and decadal variability of Gulf of Maine and Slope Water
The oceanographic conditions in the Gulf of Maine, Scotian Shelf, Slope Sea, and surroundings are determined by interplay of two major circulation systems—the Gulf Stream and Labrador Current.

What the Hakes? Correlating Environmental Factors with Hake Abundance in the Gulf of Maine
According to the latest estimates, the Gulf of Maine is currently warming faster than 99% of the world’s oceans. As a result, this region has become an ideal location for research into the effects that warming has on the historical fisheries that make up

Influence and characteristics of anticyclonic eddies in active MHW years in the Northwest Atlantic
The Northwest Atlantic contains two subregions, the Gulf of Maine and the Mid-Atlantic Bight. This region is dynamically controlled by the Jet Stream, the Gulf Stream, (GS) and its eddies.

Evidence for Adaptation from the 2016 Marine Heatwave in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean
Extreme environmental events are often catalysts for adaptive changes. Like many such events, the 2012 marine heatwave in the Gulf of Maine revealed unexpected connections within the ecosystem and between the natural and human components of the system ...

Diagnosis of physical and biological control over phytoplankton in the Gulf of Maine-Georges Bank region using an adjoint data assimilation approach [PDF]
The linkage between physical and biological processes, particularly the effect of the circulation field on the distribution of phytoplankton, is studied by applying a two-dimensional model and an adjoint data assimilation approach to the Gulf of Maine ...

Habitat-Based Predictions of Bridle Shiner (<i>Notropis bifrenatus</i>) in the Northeastern United States. [PDF]
We developed local and regional models for Maine and New Hampshire that may be used to focus bridle shiner (Notropis bifrenatus) surveys on areas with high predicted habitat suitability. This is significant because bridle shiners receive protection or concern status in thirteen states and two Canadian provinces: Limited data show that bridle shiners ...
