November 20th, 2024 - GFDL a Partner in NOAA’s Changing Ecosystems and Fisheries Initiative
From warming waters and rising seas to melting sea ice and changing ocean pH, climate change is having major impacts on the nation’s marine and Great Lakes resources. In order to effectively prepare for and combat the effects of climate change, policymakers need robust historical simulations, as well as forecasts and projections, about how ocean […]
