The primary focus of this role is to develop new global-scale statistical species distribution models of marine species’ climate ranges, which can capture the impacts of both warming and cooling on species’ range shifts under a range of climate change and geoengineering scenarios. These new models will be used to identify priority regions for conservation, which are most capable of facilitating the persistence of marine biodiversity across a range of plausible global warming and geoengineering scenarios.
