Predicting Adaptations to Rapid Climate Velocities in Canadian Fishing Communities

As part of the 2023-2024 Dahdaleh Institute Global Health Seminar Series, Dahdaleh Graduate Scholar Sherif Shuaib presented his research on predicting adaptations to rapid climate velocities in Canadian fishing communities on Wednesday, January 10, 2024. Shuaib explored the complex interplay between fishing and climate velocity, evaluating how climate change affects the abundance and distribution of marine fish.
