EP24D:
Physical-Biogeochemical Interactions Across Scales: From Microscale to Mesoscale II Posters


Session ID#: 27994

Session Description:
Observations reveal spatio-temporal variations in marine and coastal biogeochemistry and ecosystems on scales ranging from the microscale to the mesoscale. Models suggest that processes at these small scales integrate to impact the larger scales. Recent developments in airborne, underway, and autonomous technologies allow for adaptive sampling (e.g. guided by glider swarms and drones). Increased computational power further provides new views onto a wider range of ecological and biogeochemical dynamics over a wider range of time and space scales than ever before. Questions that may be relevant to this session include: How do biophysical drivers of ecosystem structure scale up spatially - through trophic levels, or across biological scales of organization? What are the limits of predictability at different scales? How are recent engineering and computational innovations facilitating advances in the science? By bringing together observational and modeling efforts, we aim to develop a more complete perspective of the cross-scale physical-biogeochemical interactions in coastal and marine systems and new ideas about how to integrate these dynamics into predictive models.
