Predator and Prey, Past, Present, and Projected: Modelling Polar Bears and Ringed Seals in a Dynamic Arctic
DownloadFall 2019
Climate change is causing the Arctic to warm faster than anywhere else on earth. The projected effects of a warmer Arctic include changes in population dynamics and distributions, biodiversity, food web structure, and ecosystem services. Our ability to successfully monitor ecological changes and...

Distributions of sequences modulo one (mod 1) have been studied over the past century with applications in algebra, number theory, statistics, and computer science. For a given sequence, the weak convergence of the associated empirical distributions has been the usual approach to these studies....
