Changing ocean, marine ecosystems, and dependent communities
The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …

Spatial variability in the resistance and resilience of giant kelp in southern and Baja California to a multiyear heatwave
In 2014–2016 the west coast of North America experienced a marine heatwave that was
unprecedented in the historical record in terms of its duration and intensity. This event was …
