Bloom compression alongside marine heatwaves contemporary with the Oregon upwelling season
Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.Abstract Marine heatwave (MHW) events have led to acute decreases in primary production and phytoplankton biomass in the surface ocean, particularly at the mid latitudes. In the Northeast Pacific, these anomalous events have occasionally encroached onto the Oregon shelf during the ecologically important summer upwelling season.

Highly mobile pelagic species co‐occur with fine‐scale ocean fronts
Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.Abstract Coastal areas are an important source of food and a valuable tourism asset for communities, but also highly dynamic and heterogeneous environments. Understanding how marine species respond to the variability of their habitat is essential to sustainably manage coastal resources.

Encountering whales: How encounter rates became the basis for managing whaling
NAMMCO Scientific Publications, 2009 Declining rates of encountering whales, including both sighting and catching, were noted by whalers throughout the 19th century, and these declines became the first indication that whaling was adversely affecting whale abundance.

Remotely sensing coral bleaching in the Red Sea
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Coral bleaching, often triggered by oceanic warming, devastates coral reef systems, resulting in substantial alterations to biodiversity and ecosystem services. For conservation management, an effective technique is needed to not only detect and monitor coral bleaching events but also to predict their severity levels.
