Code to Support Hypoxia vulnerability in the salmon watersheds of Southeast Alaska

December 1, 2023

Oxygen depletion events (hypoxia) in coastal aquatic ecosystems occur more frequently, yet their causes and consequences remain poorly understood. We identified key drivers of hypoxia in Southeast Alaska watersheds for long-term hypoxia monitoring. This software release contains one R script that can be used to calculate hypoxia risk from environmental variables. This R code will re-create Figure 3 in the following article:
