Session ID#: 9374
Session Description:
Living organisms comprise the engine of ocean geochemical and ecosystem processes, and support human communities and economic activity around the world. Understanding the role of biodiversity in these processes is a major frontier in ocean science, with implications for global climate models, carbon budgets, fishery management, and public health. Yet the ocean observing system strategy developed over the past few decades has not adequately incorporated biodiversity (as evidenced by the word’s absence among the >250 index terms for this meeting’s sessions). The staggering biological diversity and complex interactions among organisms and their physical, chemical, and geological milieu present many challenges. Overcoming them is now becoming tractable with increasing appreciation for the value of biodiversity, advances in molecular tools, new technologies for high-resolution remote sensing, revolutions in bioinformatics, and a growing culture of networking, collaboration, and data sharing. This session aims to provide an overview of these recent advances, their implications for a new understanding of changing marine ecosystems and the consequences for humanity, and the outlook for regional to global, collaborative Marine Biodiversity Observation (and research) Networks (MBON).
