Open Session on the Biogeochemistry of the Oceanic Carbon Cycle
Dear All,
You are kindly invited to submit an abstract for our OS4 Open Session
on the Biogeochemistry of the Oceanic Carbon Cycle (co-listed in
BG) to be held in the upcoming EGU General Assembly in Vienna, Austria,
24-29 April, 2005
******* 21 JANUARY 2005 is the abstract deadline ******
For further information, visit the EGU Assembly site: http://www.copernicus.org/EGU/ga/egu05/index.htm
or: http://www.copernicus.org/EGU/ga/egu05/deadlines_and_milestones.htm
You can find the OS4 announcement under 'Call-for-Paper Programme'
and 'Ocean Sciences Programme'. OS4 Open Session on the Biogeochemistry
of the Oceanic Carbon Cycle: Attempts to predict the future global
environment depend on a comprehensive understanding of how biogeochemical
cycling in the oceans affects the climate system, and of how changes
in climate influence the structure and functional properties of
oceanic ecosystems. During the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS)
era, intensive field studies were carried out through either regional
process studies or time-series stations distributed in contrasting
oceanic biogeochemical provinces e.g. HOT, BATS, NABE, BOFS, POMME,
CANIGO, EUMELI, AMT, CARIACO, ARABESQUE, AESOPS, STERNA, the Northwest
Atlantic, PRIME. These field studies have been interpreted with
the aid of a hierarchy of mathematical models which describe the
contextual physical processes supplying the requisite organic and
inorganic nutrients and the ecosytem structure and function facilitating
the production, transformation, sequestration and air/sea exchange
of carbon. This session invites contributions related to observations,
experimental manipulations, predictive analyses and modelling studies
of the biological, chemical, physical and geological processes involved
in the oceanic carbon cycle and the interactions between them.
Looking
forward to meeting you in Vienna,
Carol Robinson and Veronique Garcon
