• Diminishing returns on labour in the global marine food system 

      Scherrer, Kim Josefin Niklasdotter; Rousseau, Yannick; Teh, Lydia C.L.; Sumaila, U. Rashid; Galbraith, Eric D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Technological advances over the past century have greatly reduced the proportion of human labour required to produce the world’s food. On land, these advances have continually increased yields, feeding a growing human ...
    • Global food insecurity and famine from reduced crop, marine fishery and livestock production due to climate disruption from nuclear war soot injection 

      Xia, Lili; Robock, Alan; Scherrer, Kim Josefin Niklasdotter; Harrison, Cheryl S.; Bodirsky, Benjamin Leon; Weindl, Isabelle; Jägermeyr, Jonas; Bardeen, Charles G.; Toon, Owen B.; Heneghan, Ryan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Atmospheric soot loadings from nuclear weapon detonation would cause disruptions to the Earth’s climate, limiting terrestrial and aquatic food production. Here, we use climate, crop and fishery models to estimate the impacts ...
    • Integrating human dimensions in decadal-scale prediction for marine social–ecological systems: lighting the grey zone 

      Melbourne-Thomas, Jess; Tommasi, Desiree; Gehlen, Marion; Murphy, Eugene J.; Beckensteiner, Jennifer; Bravo, Francisco; Eddy, Tyler D; Fischer, Mibu; Fulton, Elizabeth; Gogina, Mayya; Hofmann, Eileen; Ito, Maysa; Mynott, Sara; Ortega-Cisneros, Kelly; Osiecka, Anna N; Payne, Mark R.; Saldívar-Lucio, Romeo; Scherrer, Kim Josefin Niklasdotter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The dynamics of marine systems at decadal scales are notoriously hard to predict—hence references to this timescale as the “grey zone” for ocean prediction. Nevertheless, decadal-scale prediction is a rapidly developing ...
    • A New Ocean State After Nuclear War 

      Harrison, Cheryl S.; Rohr, Tyler; DuVivier, Alice; Maroon, Elizabeth A.; Bachman, Scott; Bardeen, Charles G.; Coupe, Joshua; Garza, Victoria; Heneghan, Ryan; Lovenduski, Nicole S.; Neubauer, Philipp; Rangel, Victor; Robock, Alan; Scherrer, Kim Josefin Niklasdotter; Stevenson, Samantha; Toon, Owen B. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Nuclear war would produce dire global consequences for humans and our environment. We simulated climate impacts of US-Russia and India-Pakistan nuclear wars in an Earth System Model, here, we report on the ocean impacts. ...
