2013 RARGOM Annual Science Meeting
The 2012 Gulf of Maine heatwave: anomalous year or the new normal?
October 8, 2013
Holiday Inn, 300 Woodbury Ave (at the traffic circle) Portsmouth, NH
The 2013 RARGOM Annual Science Meeting will look back at 2012, a remarkable year in the Gulf of Maine. According to NOAA, 2012 was the warmest year ever in the Gulf and over a broad swath of the North Atlantic, and the high temperatures impacted the physical conditions, biological processes, animal distributions, and fisheries in the region. This meeting will attempt to synthesize the causes and consequences of the 2012 “ocean heat wave” and consider what lessons we can take from 2012 about how the Gulf of Maine will change in the coming century.
Meeting organizer : Andy Pershing, University of Maine School of Marine Sciences and the Gulf of Maine Research Institute
RARGOM Chair : Kevin Friedland, National Marine Fisheries Service, Narragansett, RI

Using Climate Variability to Diagnose How
Marine Ecosystems Work and How They Will Change
Ecological experiments are notoriously difficult to perform on planktonic communities due to the large scale and open nature of the ocean. However, climate variability alters the physical environment on scales large enough to affect multiple ecosystems simultaneously….
