Climate-responsive ocean management
Climate-responsive ocean management My research revolves around themes of understanding how stressors, such as climate change and fishing, are shifting the abundance and distribution of marine species across the global seascape, how these changes will affect the health and development of coastal communities, and ways in which this knowledge can be incorporated into marine spatial… DetailsSurveying baleen whales in the Gulf of St. Lawrence using VHR satellite imagery
Surveying baleen whales in the Gulf of St. Lawrence using VHR satellite imagery North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) are an endangered species of baleen whale that is endemic to the North Atlantic Ocean. With its population severely depleted from historical whaling, the global population size is currently estimated to be around 400 individuals. Right… DetailsSafe operating spaces for marine ecosystems
Safe operating spaces for marine ecosystems The Earth’s biodiversity is threatened by increasing human impacts, such as climate change, pollution and overexploitation. These impacts are jeopardizing the capacity of ecosystems to provide the goods and services that are vital to sustain human life. In response to this challenge, in 2009 the concept of planetary… DetailsIsabelle Hurley Research Summary
