Raster images projecting the probability of loggerhead sea turtle presence in the Northwest Atlantic, based on data from 2009-2018 and climate change predictions for +20, +40, +60, and +80 years (NCEI Accession 0312636)
The dataset was created using a high-resolution global climate model and a large satellite tagging dataset to project changes in the future distribution of suitable thermal habitat for loggerheads along the northeastern continental shelf of the United States. Between 2009 and 2018, we deployed 196 satellite tags on loggerheads within the Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB) of the Northwest Atlantic continental shelf region, a seasonal foraging area. Tag location data combined with depth and remotely sensed sea surface temperature (SST) were used to characterize the species’ current thermal range in the MAB. The high-resolution global climate model was then used to project loggerhead probability of presence over the next 80 years using the characterized thermal range (summarized over 20-year increments).
