Today at @normalesup.bsky.social in Paris, I presented my ongoing research on phytoplankton biomass and primary production, and how climate models may project them differently in the future, with implications for understanding climate change impacts on marine ecosystems and fisheries.🌊

Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS) disproportionately contribute to global productivity and fisheries. We looked at response of phytoplankton to climate change in these regions and found that productivity declines in 25% of the area, which would impact livelihoods of coastal communities.🌊

Beyond wind-induced upwelling: diverse drivers of future productivity in eastern boundary upwelling systems

Abstract. Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS) contribute disproportionately to global marine productivity and fisheries, yet their response to climate change remains poorly understood. Given the...
