Subject: Special ASLO Session

Dear Colleague,
Louis Legendre and I are convening a special session entitled "Interactions and Feedbacks Among Marine Pelagic Ecosystems, Biogeochemical Cycles and Climate, in a Globally Changing Environment" (SS5.12) at the 2004 Ocean Research Conference (co-sponsored by The American Society of Limnology and Oceanography and The Oceanography Society http://aslo.org/honolulu2004/index.html) from February 15-20, 2004 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The session description is below. The deadline for the submission of abstracts is October 1st, 2003. Louis and I invite you to a contribute paper to this session. We look forward to seeing you in Hawaii in 2004.
Best Regards,
Richard and Louis
Session Description: For over a decade, it has been recognised that there are relationships between food web structure and biogeochemical cycles. It is only recently however that these interactions has begun to be quantified. It is through their interactions with biogeochemical cycles that marine food webs feedback to the climate. To date however, the study of these processes have generally been considered within highly disciplinary programs and sessions.This special session will examine the observational, experimental, and conceptual and numerical modelling studies of the interactions and feedbacks among food-web, biogeochemical and climate processes. ___________________________________________________________________ Richard B.
