Summary: opportunity to build a robust evidence base on future oceanic climate chronic risks to inform resilience strategies and policies, helping the UK reduce shocks and maximise opportunities arising from long-term marine climate-related hazards.
Policy topic: this fellowship supports the UK government’s National Adaptation Programme (NAP) Implementation (up to 2028) and the UK Resilience Framework by assessing long-term oceanic climate chronic risks including, but not restricted to, marine heatwaves, ocean circulation disruptions such as Active Pacific Meridional Overturning Circulation or Pacific Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC, PMOC), and ocean acidification. The research will inform policy decisions on biodiversity, food security, and marine-dependent industries while addressing evidence gaps in chronic risks and emerging marine interventions
