This review paper reports on the state-of-the-art concerning observations of surface winds,
waves, and currents from space and their use for scientific research and subsequent …

Long-term monitoring shows that the poleward range edges of intertidal biota have shifted
by as much as 50 km per decade, faster than most recorded shifts of terrestrial species …

The environmental conditions in the ocean have long been considered relatively more
stable through time compared to the conditions on land. Advances in sensing technologies …

The past two decades have seen great progress in understanding the mechanisms of
ecosystem stability in local ecological systems. There is, however, an urgent need to extend …

We explicitly quantified spatial and temporal patterns in the body temperature of an
ecologically important species of intertidal invertebrate, the mussel Mytilus californianus …

Recent meta-analyses have shown that the effects of climate change are detectable and
significant in their magnitude, but these studies have emphasized the utility of looking for …

Climate models predict a dramatic increase in the annual frequency and severity of extreme
weather events during the next century. Here we show that increases in the annual …

Temperature is among the main structuring agents on rocky intertidal shores. Although
infrequent mortality events associated with high temperatures have been observed in …

Increasing evidence indicates that spatial and temporal patterns in ecological systems are
not independent of the scale of measurement. In this study we used a hierarchical sampling …

Topographical wave exposure indices allow objective assessment of the degree of wave
action at coastal sites. We present a grid-based method for rapidly calculating indices at fine …
