EP24A:
Basin- to Global-Scale Ocean Transport, Connectivity, and Dispersal: Interdisciplinary Connections II Posters


Session ID#: 37888

Session Description:
Physical transport of water masses over basin to global scales exerts control on processes as varied as global overturning circulation and the dispersal and ecological connectivity of marine species. In addition, anthropogenic structures in both the coastal and open ocean influence ecological processes through the alteration of habitats, shifts in biodiversity or productivity and may modify physical and biological connectivity. Use of drifters, natural or artificial tagging, field observations of propagules dispersal and genetic analyses, combined with bio-physical modelling, including Lagrangian numerical studies, have provided new insights in both physical and biological applications. However, much uncertainty remains: pathways of water masses important to global ocean dynamics, details of biological interactions with multi-scale currents, natural variability and climate change effects, implications for biogeography and resilience of marine populations, how the addition of man-made structures affect those interactions. To facilitate cross-disciplinary exchanges, we solicit abstracts which aim at: unravelling complex transport pathways of water masses, exploring 3-dimensional transport, upwelling and redistribution of passive tracers, evaluating dispersal for species spanning microbial organisms to top predators, studying demographic and genetic connectivity, revealing seascape boundaries and biological patchiness, as well as understanding the impacts of anthropogenic constructions on the structure of marine populations.
