Fiona McLaughlin is a senior Oceanographer, employed by Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans.[1][2][3] McLaughlin joined government service in 1972. Since 1994 she has concentrated on the ecology of the Arctic Ocean.

Education and career[]

McLauglin earned an M.Sc. from the University of Victoria in 1996 with a thesis titled "Geochemical and physical water mass properties and halocarbon ventilation in the Southern Canadian Basin of the Arctic Ocean".[4] In 2000, she finished her Ph.D. from the University of Victoria.[5]

McLaughlin has an extensive list of publications.[1]

McLaughlin has made field trips on the icebreakers of the Canadian Coast Guard.[6] In November 2009 she was one of the authors of an article in Science[7] about the acidification of the Arctic Ocean that reported that the Beaufort Sea was close to the point where the carbonate shells of plankton would begin to dissolve.
