Supporting Dataset For Observed And Forecasted Global Warming Pressure On Coastal Hypoxia, Michael M. Whitney
Supporting Dataset For Observed And Forecasted Global Warming Pressure On Coastal Hypoxia, Michael M. Whitney
Department of Marine Sciences
This archive contains the supporting dataset for the Biogeosciences manuscript “Observed and forecasted global warming pressure on coastal hypoxia” by Michael M. Whitney. The main objective of the manuscript is studying global patterns exacerbating coastal hypoxia by analyzing linear trends in SST, surface oxygen capacity, and (vertical-minimum) oxygen concentration. Observations from a satellite-derived SST global climate data are analyzed to provide context for coastal SST and oxygen-capacity trends over the last four decades. New analysis of 21st century forecasts from the Community Earth System Model (CESM) Large Ensemble Project is completed for coastal areas. Observed and forecasted coastal SST and …
Data Supporting The Figures In "Freshwater Composition And Connectivity Of The Connecticut River Plume During Ambient Flood Tides", Michael M. Whitney
Data Supporting The Figures In "Freshwater Composition And Connectivity Of The Connecticut River Plume During Ambient Flood Tides", Michael M. Whitney
Department of Marine Sciences
Supporting data for figures in "Freshwater composition and connectivity of the Connecticut River plume during ambient flood tides" by Michael M. Whitney, Yan Jia, Kelly L. Cole, Daniel G. MacDonald, Kimberly D. Huguenard. The scientific journal article is published in Frontiers in Marine Science (2021). The main objectives of this study on the Connecticut River plume formed during ambient flood tidal conditions are: 1) determining the contributions of river source waters from different parts of the tidal cycle and 2) quantifying the degree and spatial distribution of connectivity of these source waters with the bounding plume fronts. A high-resolution numerical …

Linking Human Activities To Water Quality In Coastal New England: Past And Present, Amelia Hurst
Linking Human Activities To Water Quality In Coastal New England: Past And Present, Amelia Hurst
University Scholar Projects
This project examines the timing and effect of direct and indirect anthropogenic and natural influences on the marine environment in embayments in southern New England over the past decades to century timescale. We investigated the effects of human land use from colonial through post-industrial times, determined baseline conditions and natural climatic variability, and analyzed the response of marine ecosystems to specific local management actions aimed to improve water quality. A coastal sediment core was taken in Mumford Cove, CT and was analyzed downcore for eutrophication markers (C: N, %C, %N, d15N, d13C) and metals (Hg, Pb, …
Climate Change Preparedness In The Insurance Sector, Daniel Fischler
Climate Change Preparedness In The Insurance Sector, Daniel Fischler
Honors Scholar Theses
Climate change is the inevitable consequence of human activity since the industrial revolution began centuries ago. Assuming humanity survives and adapts to this scenario, there will be significant impacts on the economy and business. Under these circumstances, the insurance sector in particular will face challenges as the frequency and severity of losses increase due to climate change related events. This paper aims to analyze various options for allowing insurance to maintain viability in this changing environment. The general issue for the future is premiums must be commensurate with climate change related risk in affected areas. As a result, certain coastal …
