ME24C:
Exploring Biological-Geological Interactions in Coastal and Nearshore Habitats Posters


Session ID#: 9519

Session Description:
The coastal and nearshore zones are some of Earth’s most heterogeneous and dynamic geological environments, directly influenced by both terrestrial and oceanographic processes. These environments, which are economically and societally important, host a variety of ecosystems and are critical habitats to many marine species. Many of the ecological processes that occur in the intertidal and subtidal zones involve close physical and/or chemical interactions between the organisms and the geologic substratum. There are a vast number of species and biological assemblages that are intimately associated with substrata.  Classic examples include rocky intertidal communities and giant kelp. This interdisciplinary session aims at bringing together geologists and biologists who are exploring biological-geological interactions in coastal and nearshore habitats across multiple spatial scales using both classic and novel methods of scientific investigation. We especially encourage the submission of multidisciplinary, educational, and outreach-oriented topics.
