Marine Ecosystems and Global Change
Global changes, including climate change and intensive fishing, are having significant impacts on the world's oceans. This book advances knowledge of the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems and their major sub-systems, and how they respond to physical forcing.
Globec
GLOBEC (GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics) is a research initiative proposed by the oceanographic and fisheries communities to address the question of how changes in global environment are expected to affect the abundance and production of animals in the sea. The approach to this problem is to develop a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms that determine both the abundance of key marine animal populations and their variances in space and time. The assumption is that the physical environment is a major contributor to patterns of abundance and production of marine animals, in large part because the planktonic life stages typical of most marine animals are intrinsically at the mercy of the fluid motions of the medium in which they live. Consequently, the authors reason that a logical approach to predicting the potential impact of a globally changing environment is to understand how the physical environment, both directly and indirectly, contributes to animal abundance and its variability in marine ecosystems. The plans for this coordinated study of of the potential impact of global change on ocean ecosystems dynamics are discussed. Unspecified Center...

U.S. Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC) Program
Presents information about the U.S. Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics Program (U.S. GLOBEC), a component of the U.S. Global Change Research Program at the Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography in Norfolk, Virginia. U.S. GLOBEC studies the interplay of ocean physics, biology, and chemistry. Includes a calendar of activities, announcements, and press releases. Discusses projects funded for southern ocean GLOBEC modeling and GLOBEC news. Contains related documents and links to other GLOBEC sites.
