# Preface{-}

Welcome to the SDM Workflow Repository documentation. Here you will find documentation detailing the methods we used to project marine species distribution and abundance changes within the northwest Atlantic given future climate conditions from CMIP6 global climate models.

**About**

This project and its results are the work of the [Integrated Systems Ecology Laboratory](https://gmri.org/commitments/science/integrated-systems-ecology/) at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute led by [Dr. Kathy Mills](https://gmri.org/our-approach/staff/kathy-mills/) with work from and [Andrew Allyn](https://gmri.org/our-approach/staff/andrew-allyn/), [Adam Kemberling](https://gmri.org/our-approach/staff/adam-kemberling/), Matt Dzaugis, and Lindsay Carlson.

Funding for this project was provided by NOAA Fisheries through a Cooperative Institute for the North Atlantic Region grant and by a Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada Ecosystems and Oceans Science Contribution grant.

**Acknowledging Our Place**

The Gulf of Maine Research Institute is located in Portland, Maine. For thousands of years, the Abenaki people fished, hunted, farmed, and cared for these lands. The Abenaki people are part of a larger Wabanaki Confederacy, including the Penobscot, Passamaquody, Maliseet and Mi'kmaq sovereign peoples. We now live and do our work on their unceded homelands. As an organization, we are in the process of working with local tribes to strengthen our relationship, and in doing so, co-develop a more formal land acknowledgement statement.
