Ocean Sciences
research provides the foundation for assessing the effect of
changes in ocean conditions on marine ecosystems and understanding
the role of the ocean in the global climate system.
The program has three main areas:
- monitoring and understanding the
functioning of marine food chains, including the environmental
factors controlling distribution and abundance of fish.
- understanding the ocean's role
in the global climate system
- Arctic ecosystems and climate
change
The division has staff located at
the Institute
of Ocean Sciences and the Pacific
Biological Station. Research activities are conducted in
coastal and open ocean waters of the North Pacific and in the
Arctic Ocean.
