NOAA Science Seminar SeriesTitle: Arctic stratospheric vortex projections in CMIP6 models: mechanisms and sources of the spread NOAA Chemical Sciences Laboratory Seminar SeriesPresenter(s): Alexey Karpechko, Finnish Meteorological Institute Sponsor(s): NOAA Chemical Sciences Laboratory. Seminar Contact(s): Gregory Schill, gregory.schill@noaa.gov Remote Access: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/4896115820532254560Abstract: We analyze the sources for spread in the response of the Northern Hemisphere wintertime stratospheric polar vortex (SPV) to global warming in Climate Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) and Phase 6 (CMIP6) model projections. About half of the intermodel spread in SPV projections by CMIP6 models, but less than a third in CMIP5 models, can be attributed to the intermodel spread in stationary planetary wave driving. In CMIP6, SPV weakening is mostly driven by increased upward wave flux from the troposphere, while SPV strengthening is associated with increased equatorward wave propagation away from the polar stratosphere. We test hypothesized factors contributing to changes in the upward and equatorward planetary wave fluxes and show that an across-model regression using projected global warming rates, strengthening of the subtropical jet and basic state lower stratospheric wind biases as predictors can explain nearly the same fraction in the CMIP6 SPV spread as the planetary wave driving (r = 0.67). The dependence of the SPV spread on the model biases in the basic state winds offers a possible emergent constraint; however, a large uncertainty prevents a substantial reduction of the projected SPV spread. The lack of this dependence in CMIP5 further calls for better understanding of underlying causes. Our results improve understanding of projected SPV uncertainty; however, further narrowing of the uncertainty remains challenging.

Abstract: In an era where data is increasingly recognized as a critical asset, the concept of Indigenous Data Sovereignty (IDS) has emerged as a vital framework for empowering tribal nations. This presentation, titled "Empowering Tribal Nationhood: Navigating the Path to Data Sovereignty," explores the intersection of data governance, tribal sovereignty, and the self-determination of Indigenous communities. We delve into the challenges and opportunities faced by tribal nations in asserting control over their data, emphasizing the importance of culturally relevant data governance models that respect Indigenous values, traditions, and legal systems. Through case studies and examples, we illustrate how Indigenous communities are leveraging data sovereignty to drive social, economic, and environmental initiatives that align with their priorities and aspirations. We discuss the role of technology, policy, and collaboration in enabling effective data management and utilization, while also addressing the risks and ethical considerations associated with data sovereignty. This presentation aims to shed light on the pathways for Indigenous communities to achieve data sovereignty, thereby strengthening their nationhood and self-determination. We conclude with a call to action for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to support the sovereignty of Indigenous data as a means to empower tribal nations and promote a more equitable and inclusive data ecosystem.

Sign language interpreting services and Federal Relay Conference Captioning (RCC) service are available, but need to be requested at least 5 days before the event. Abstract: Having consistent, quality, and adaptable survey information to track population change is becoming increasingly important in the face of climate change, which has been shown to induce range shifts for multiple species. Surveys can be costly to run and due to a myriad of reasons, including budget constraints, could be modified in the future. Therefore, the goal of this project is to evaluate the scientific and economic benefits of different survey strategies through a management strategy evaluation (MSE) for fisheries management in Alaska. In this talk, we will discuss important assumptions within the MSE and present preliminary results.Keywords: spatial operating model, management strategy evaluation, fishery-independent survey Bio(s): Lee Cronin-Fine joined the Alaska Fisheries Science Center in June 2023. Previously, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Washington and the AFSC. He received his B.S. in applied mathematics/biology at Brown University, a MS in marine biology from Northeastern University and a Ph.D in quantitative ecology and resource management from the University of Washington.

NOAA Science Seminar SeriesTitle: A Sustainable Crowdsourced Bathymetry Data Product from Forward Looking Sonar Data that Contributes to Seabed 2030 and Incentivizes User Participation Presenter(s): Heath Henley, Engineering, Sr. Application Engineer, FarSounder Inc. Sponsor(s): NOAA IOCM Seminar Series Seminar Contacts: Amber Butler amber.butler@noaa.gov , iwgocm.staff@noaa.govVIRTUAL: Register through GoTo Remote Access: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/3257249759396975701 Abstract: About 48% of US waters are not mapped adequately according to a recent report from the Interagency Working Group on Ocean and Coastal Mapping, and the situation is worse in other parts of the world (IHO C-55). In order to fill the gaps and contribute to global mapping initiatives like Seabed 2030, traditional survey methods need to be supplemented by other means, including by collecting bathymetric measurements from vessels of opportunity operating in areas where data is scarce or out of date. For this data to find its way off the boat and into public data stores, two things must happen: (1) the vessel operators or owners need to be motivated to participate, and (2) manufacturers and software providers must have some viable business case for collecting and submitting the data. FarSounder is solving this problem by collecting bathymetric data from users of their 3D forward looking sonar and creating a value added aggregated data product. Users who contribute benefit by gaining access to the shared data layer, while at the same time contributing bathymetric data to public datastores. With enough data collected, the aggregated data product will generate revenue through sales to non-contributors to make the product self-sustaining. Bio(s): Heath has worked at FarSounder Inc. for almost 8 years, his current title is Sr Application Engineer. He works primarily on software development, research and development, technical support, and customer training.

Abstract: Southern California is currently experiencing rapid changes in climate patterns and more extreme weather events with important implications for the agricultural industry. Current trends and climate models indicate that temperatures in this region will continue to rise in the next century, along with more intense and frequent drought events. The impacts of these changes on crop physiology and production remain ambiguous, which makes this region highly vulnerable to climate change. Moreover, very little is known about how growers are responding to these climate challenges and whether they have the necessary resources and support to adapt accordingly. This project was developed to better understand and predict climate impacts to vineyard production systems in the San Diego region. The first objective of this project was to better understand the physiological response of grapevines to micro-climate and soil water availability and how this varies across different grapevine varieties of the same species ( Vitis vinifera L.). This project was conducted at an experimental vineyard located in the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve in Fallbrook, CA. The second objective of this research was to use a social science approach to better understand the impacts and challenges of climate change on the winegrowing community in the San Diego region. These findings help to draw awareness of potential impacts on the grape/wine sector, which may incentivize informed policy and practices. The results are from the NOAA EPP/MSI CSC NERTO graduate internship project that was conducted with NOAA mentor Alexander Tardy of the National Weather Service. The NERTO aligns with the NOAA CESSRST-II program's goals of supporting and strengthening societal decision-making in response to weather and climate extremes. This project has also deepened the intern's understanding of NOAA weather monitoring by integrating weather data, crop transpiration predictions, and grower risk perception to address information needs and adaptive capacity building of the agricultural sector. Bio(s): Alessandra Zuniga is a NOAA Cooperative Science Center for Earth System Sciences and Remote Sensing Technologies (CESSRST-II) Graduate Fellow and doctoral student in Ecology at San Diego State University. Alessandra's current research focuses on investigating the impacts of climate change on transpiration and water use efficiency of grapevine crop, as well as to better understand how growers are perceiving and responding to climate and weather impacts with management practices. This information should help to identify areas where growers are lacking support, develop strategies to lower barriers towards adaptation, and improve data and tool accessibility to build climate resilience of communities surrounding wine grape production in southern California. Alessandra is supported as a Cohort 1 Graduate Fellow in the NOAA Earth System Sciences and Remote Sensing Technologies (CESSRST-II) award.For more information access the webpage for the Cooperative Science Centers, https://www.noaa.gov/office-education/epp-msi/csc/20212022-awards and NERTO, www.noaa.gov/eppnerto/.

In this study, we examined the impacts of sediment and nutrient pollution across many aspects of a coral reef, from water chemistry to benthic and plankton communities. The talk will explore three main topics: (1) Examining the impacts of sediments, chlorophyll, and nutrients on coral communities, (2) Determining if LBSP causes coastal acidification in Aua reefs and determine what that might mean for the reef community, and (3) Identifying bioindicators for LBSP from plankton groups including benthic foraminifera, microalgae (e.g. diatoms), and macroinvertebrates (e.g. crab larvae). Bio(s): Joy Smith is a Coral Reef Ecosystems Oceanographer at the Cooperative Institute of Marine and Atmospheric Research (CIMAR), which is the joint institute between NOAA's Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) and the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Joy received her M.S. in marine science from Stony Brook University, and a Ph.D. through a joint program between Bremen University (Germany) and Plymouth University (UK). She then completed a post doc at the Australian institute of Marine Science where her work focused on the impacts of coastal acidification and poor water quality on coral reef ecosystems in the Great Barrier Reef. She now is a part of the Ocean Climate Change team in the Ecosystems Science Division at PIFSC where her work focuses on the impacts of land-based sources of pollution, increasing temperatures, and ocean acidification on coral reef ecosystems.

NOAA Science Seminar SeriesTitle: Gene expression responses of stony corals to ocean acidification from shallow to mesophotic reefs Part of the NOAA Omics Seminar SeriesPresenter(s): Federica Scucchia, Postdoctoral Associate, Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience, University of Florida Sponsor(s): NOAA Omics Seminar Contact(s): Nicole Miller, NOAA 'Omics Portfolio Specialist, noaa.omics@noaa.govRemote Access: Register HereAbstract: The integrity of coral reefs worldwide is jeopardized by the lowering seawater pH, a process known as ocean acidification (OA). Most studies conducted so far have focused on the vulnerability to OA of corals inhabiting shallow reefs while less is known about the response of mesophotic scleractinian corals. In this study, we assessed the susceptibility to OA of corals, together with their algal symbionts, inhabiting a wide depth range. We exposed fragments of the depth generalist coral Stylophora pistillata collected from either 5 or 45 m in Eilat (Red Sea) to simulated future OA conditions, and assessed key molecular, physiological and photosynthetic processes influenced by the lowered pH. Our comparative analysis reveals that mesophotic and shallow S. pistillata corals are genetically distinct and possess different symbiont types. Overall, our gene expression and physiological analyses show that mesophotic corals possess a greater capacity to cope with the effects of OA compared to their shallow counterparts. Such capability stems from physiological characteristics (i.e., biomass and lipids energetics), a greater capacity to regulate cellular acid" base parameters, and a higher baseline expression of cell adhesion and extracellular matrix genes. Moreover, our gene expression analysis suggests that the enhanced symbiont photochemical efficiency under high pCO2 levels could prevent acidosis of the host cells and it could support a greater translocation of photosynthates, increasing the energy pool available to the host. With this work, we provide new insights on key genetic and physiological traits underlying the potential for corals to cope with future OA conditions. Bio(s): Federica Succhia received her B.S. in Biological Sciences from the University of Bologna, Italy, She then pursued her Master's under a joint program between the University of Bologna and the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB), where she focused on coral biology and gene expression. While at UCSB, she obtained the AAUS Scientific Diving certification, which allowed her to dive for her research on corals during her PhD at the Inter-University Institute for Marine Sciences in Eilat, Israel. There, she focused on the influence of environmental factors on the physiology, morphology and gene expression of stony corals across life stages and depths. Federica joined the Martindale Lab at the Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience, University of Florida, last year as a postdoctoral associate. Her research is focused on utilizing the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis as a universal expression platform to investigate various aspects of biomineralization for environmental restoration purposes (for example, coral reef conservation), using a variety of techniques including transgenesis and protein engineering.

Abstract: MBARI has developed a profiling float targeting research questions in the coastal zones and upper 350 meters of the world's oceans, the coastal profiling float (CPF). The core CPF includes sensors for CTD, Oxygen, pH, Nitrate, fluorescence, backscatter and a 4 channel optical radiometer. We can support additional sensors and have done science missions with turbulence microstructure sensors, sediment traps, acoustic modems and others. Enhancements for coastal operations include a 3.5 liter buoyancy engine, accurate closed loop control of platform velocity and depth and the ability to anchor (and de-anchor) on the ocean bottom. This talk will describe the current state of the CPF and the science products we're generating. We are wrapping up the current phase of development at MBARI and are actively looking for opportunities to make the CPF technology available to the greater community. This includes collaborations with other research groups, open source possibilities and commercial partners. We're particularly interested in applications for the CPF outside of our primary research interests including fishery management, marine CO2 removal MRV, oxygen dead zone monitoring, wind energy environmental impact monitoring, acoustic monitoring, etc. Bio(s): Gene Massion is an Ocean Engineer at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute.

The Hurricane Awareness Webinar Series highlights the information and capabilities to help communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. Each webinar will explore various topics that are regionally-relevant and will focus on the latest data, tools, and services from NOAA. The webinar series is sponsored by the Southeast & Caribbean Regional Collaboration Team (SECART). Natural disasters like hurricanes and tsunamis generate large amounts of marine debris that can impact shorelines and waterways, causing hazards to navigation or pollution concerns. This type of debris is difficult to remove and there are often uncertainties regarding agency roles and responsibilities. NOAA's Marine Debris Program has been working to help improve preparedness to these types of events by producing state and territory-specific response guides that can be used to help address challenges associated with disaster generated marine debris.
Bio(s): Jessica Conway is a Response Specialist supporting NOAA's Marine Debris Program through science, collaboration, and relationship building with stakeholders across all levels of government. Since 2015, she has been working to develop various tools and resources for coastal communities with the goal of improving preparedness in the response to and recovery from marine debris generated from disasters.

Abstract Since 1994, collaboration among the Great Bay Resource Protection Partnership has resulted in the protection of over 82,000 acres in New Hampshire's coastal watershed. Resources such as the 2006 Land Conservation Plan " which informed watershed protection goals, identified regional priorities, and guided strategic decision-making for over a decade " have contributed to this success by evaluating regional progress and promoting understanding of conservation efforts to date. In 2021, the Nature Conservancy of New Hampshire released an updated version of the plan that reflects new conservation priorities for climate adaptation, water resource protection, wildlife habitat and landscape connectivity corridors, and working lands. Supported by a science transfer grant, the Connect to Protect project facilitated the transfer of knowledge from the updated plan to intended users in the region through a focused outreach effort which included a needs assessment, formal knowledge transfer workshops, and a technical assistance program. In addition to facilitating knowledge transfer and outreach, the project provides a strong example of how funds can be leveraged to launch and support lasting regional relationships that continue beyond a project timeline. In this webinar, team members will discuss the approach and impacts of the project, including where this work sits within the broader context of the region and how collaborative outreach increases the reach of conservation work.

NOAA Science Seminar SeriesTitle: Genomic-to-space measurements reveal global ocean nutrient stress Presenter(s): Adam Martiny, University of California - Irvine Sponsor(s): NOAA CoastWatch (STAR) Seminar Contact(s): Victoria.Wegman@noaa.govRemote Access: meet.google.com/uco-uboz-cmk (US) +1 406-838-3189 PIN: 768 242 663# Abstract: Global ocean phytoplankton growth and primary production are intimately linked to nutrient fluctuations from seasonal to millennial time scales. Rapid recycling and tight predator-prey coupling compromise the utility of nutrient or phytoplankton stocks for delineating the biogeography of global ocean nutrient stress. Here, field-measured omics biomarkers of nutritional status are coupled to a satellite remote sensing metric of cell physiology to mechanistically evaluate monthly to multi-decadal shifts in global phytoplankton nutrient stress. We observe a clear biogeography in nutrient stress aligned with variations in nutrient flux rate and distinctly elevated stress in nitrogen- compared to phosphate-limited waters. Temporal modes of stress are dominated by seasonal changes, but strong signatures of natural climate cycles are also apparent. However, a nearly ubiquitous surface ocean warming over the last twenty years is linked to a globally-consistent increase in nutrient stress. Thus, our integrated genomic and satellite remote sensing of phytoplankton physiology has uncovered a clear contemporary regulation of global ocean nutrient stress.
