Water Mass Variability in Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems: Climate Drivers and Ecosystem Impacts II Posters

Session ID#: 84796

Session Description:
Highly productive Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS) present a confluence of different water masses, and variability in the relative contributions and depth structure of these source waters can impact biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem structure. Changes in upwelling source water characteristics may impact the magnitude and species composition of primary producers, with impacts on higher trophic levels. In the California Current, for example, variations in the relative influence of subarctic and tropical source waters affect the abundance, species composition and distribution of fish species. The El Niño-Southern Oscillation is a dominant driver of interannual variability in Pacific EBUS water mass distribution. Long-term trends in deoxygenation and decreasing pH levels in EBUS upwelled waters may also be linked to climate-driven changes. In this session we invite interdisciplinary presentations investigating changes in the physical, biological, and chemical characteristics of the EBUS source water masses and their impacts on marine ecosystems. Studies that combine observational and modeling efforts and that focus on climate change impacts are of particular interest.
