HE44D:
Variability in Southern Ocean Productivity over Different Timescales I Posters


Session ID#: 9290

Session Description:
Southern Ocean productivity plays an important role in regulating marine resources, ocean biogeochemistry and the global carbon cycle.  Canonically, variations in iron supply and demand are thought to regulate the variations in phytoplankton productivity.  However, via the actions of ocean physics, the Southern Ocean also encounters substantial fluctuations across space and time in temperature, sea ice and glacial ice dynamics and the availability of light and/or macro- and micro-nutrients. How these regulatory factors act individually and in combination to shape the dynamics of biological activity across food webs in different Southern Ocean regions and different timescales is not well understood. This hampers our ability to project with confidence how future environmental change will affect this important ecosystem. In particular we lack an understanding of how variations in the physical and/or biogeochemical environment are underpinned and connected to the broader picture of ecosystem structure, as well as wider biogeochemical feedbacks.  We invite presentations from field, laboratory, remote sensing, modelling and paleo studies that seek to unravel the dynamics of the Southern Ocean marine ecosystem from a seasonal or decadal or millenial scale viewpoint. Efforts to combine insights across disciplines and scales from physics to biogeochemistry to ecosystems are actively encouraged.
