for a Regional Coastal Ocean Modelling position investigating the fate of Canada’s coastal oceans over the next century. The scholar will (1) produce high-resolution regional ocean models of Canada’s coastlines (using ROMS and CICE), and (2) assess how these
coastal oceans will respond to a warming climate by subjecting these regional ocean models to downscaled global climate model projections. Regional ocean models will be developed first for the west coast (British Columbia), followed by the eastern Arctic and
Atlantic Canada. This work is part of a larger 3-year project funded by the NSERC Alliance program on the blue carbon potential of Canada’s coastal marine ecosystems, and how environmental change will impact blue carbon storage in the future.</span></p>
