The ocean makes up more than 70% of the planets surface and climate change is going to alter the very biogeochemistry that sustains life on the planet. Using tools from information theory, I am developing a measure of ocean "novelty" - how will marine environments change and how different will they become - to inform management decisions such as:
Identifying how, where, and when the ocean will change can allow us to plan and anticipate who will be affected and recommend some options for a just and equitable solution. As oceans change, species will move, and new "climate cooperatives" will need to emerge to meet those challenges. |
