The team includes researchers from the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and Stanford's Hopkins Marine Station. Oceanographers from the Environmental Research Division (ERD) at NMFS will provide expertise in remote sensing of the Northeast Pacific oceanography. The integration and analysis of the diverse datasets requires the development of new software which is being developed by the NMFS, UCSC, and Stanford as well as researchers from Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU) in Scotland. We plan to map the oceanic habitats used by top predators in the California Current System (CCS). This will be done by examining both top down and bottom up processes, and predicting how climate variability impacts the distribution and utilization of oceanic habitats within the CCS. We are also developing methods that are required to integrate animal collected data into existing oceanographic databases.
