Description
This fellowship opportunity, offered through the NRC Research Associateship Programs at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supports a postdoctoral researcher to conduct data synthesis on the impacts of ocean acidification (OA) on human communities across all Large Marine Ecosystems in the United States. The goal is to develop data products and vulnerability assessments that integrate socio-ecological and socio-economic factors, supporting NOAA’s Regional Vulnerability Assessment Workshop and the Interagency Working Group’s Ocean Chemistry Coastal Community Vulnerability Assessment.
The research involves synthesizing existing datasets related to species, ecosystems, industries, and cultural resources affected by OA. Priority research topics include developing vulnerability indicator frameworks, improving socio-ecological and socio-economic models, mapping community dependence on sensitive species, synthesizing action plans, and integrating human community data with chemical and ecological data.
This fellowship aims to enhance understanding of OA impacts on coastal communities, explore adaptive strategies, assess intervention actions, and empower communities to respond effectively to ocean acidification challenges.
