Fiona McLaughlin

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.

McLaughlin has an extensive list of publications.[1]

McLaughlin has made field trips on the icebreakers of the Canadian Coast Guard.[4] In November 2009 she was one of the authors of an article in Science[5] 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.
