New paper: connectivity helps corals
Baby corals disperse with ocean currents, but does this matter for their response to climate change? Our new paper in Global Change Biology with Joanie Kleypas suggests yes.
Wall Street Journal coverage
The Wall Street Journal just ran a feature story on the National Science Foundation grant we have with Eli Fenichel (Yale) and Simon Levin (Princeton): Changing Migration Patterns Upend East Coast Fishing Industry, by Heather Haddon
Climate change, wealth, and a fishy example
With a great set of co-authors, including Eli Fenichel at Yale, we just published a paper in Nature Climate Change showing how to measure the impacts of climate change on wealth. Our previous work, including this, has shown how climate
Come see us at Ocean Sciences!
Nearly the whole lab and many collaborators will be at Ocean Sciences in New Orleans next week talking about our work! Monday, 9:30-9:45am, R02: Talia Young, “ME11A-07: How Are Fishing Patterns and Fishing Communities Responding to Climate Change? A
Projecting the future of the ocean
It is difficult to make predictions, especially about the future, as the saying goes. However, there’s important science to be done trying to reduce those uncertainties for life in the ocean. We have a new paper out today in the
Eat or be eaten: off to Gordon Conference
Becca and Ryan are off to the “New Frontiers in Understanding Predator-Prey Interactions in a Human-Altered World” Gordon Conference in California next week! They’ll be presenting new analyses of climate impacts on predator-prey interaction strengths (Becca) and of climate impacts
Press on fish heading north and deeper

New paper on the interaction of fishing and climate
Fishing and climate change: two of the largest human impacts on the ocean. But how do they interact? In a new paper just out in Ecosphere, Emma Fuller, Eleanor Brush, and I use an ecological model to build some intuition.
Climate change and lobster on NPR
EarthWise, a 2-minute NPR science show, just ran a piece on climate change and lobster that featured Malin. It’s well-done, though they made a big deal about lobster moving into Canada. This sounds more dire than some research would suggest:
New “Fish Baste” climate and fish seminar series starting up!
We host a monthly seminar series on climate and fish, which call “Fish Baste,” designed to increase dialogue and collaboration among members of Rutgers, Princeton, U. Maine, and NOAA, as well as among researchers in ecology, social science, and climate science.
