Maine Edge, Working Waterfront report on Gulf of Maine temperature change study
The Maine Edge and Island Institute’s The Working Waterfront published a University of Maine news release about a new five-year study that will focus on Gulf of Maine temperature trends and variability during the past 11,000 years. The study, led by Katherine Allen, a UMaine assistant professor in the School of Earth and Climate Sciences and the Climate Change Institute, aims to enhance long-term environmental prediction and planning. Allen has received a more than $584,000 National Science Foundation CAREER Award to study Gulf temperatures from the early Holocene to the present. The award follows an NSF-funded collaborative research project led by Allen in 2016 that focused on Pacific Ocean stratification since the last ice age.
