Session Description:
Big changes are happening in the ocean. However, global trends in ocean heat content, physics, and biogeochemistry may not accurately represent changes in coastal regions where modulation by local processes plays a crucial role. Coastal oceans support productive, economically important ecosystems that are essential to dependent coastal communities. Therefore, it is vital that we consider the extent to which local processes modulate global trends in order to effectively anticipate climate change manifestation in coastal systems. Ocean simulations that resolve coastal processes can provide mechanistic insights into dynamics that drive local variability in ecosystem-relevant parameters such as temperature, oxygen content and carbonate chemistry. This session welcomes studies focused on ocean projections and forecasts for coastal ecosystems and ecosystem-relevant conditions on decadal to climate timeframes. We invite presentations on development and/or analysis of these projections, as well as studies utilizing downscaled ocean products to advance our understanding of projected or paleobiological changes to marine communities or ecosystems, and/or that discuss how such projections can be used to assist marine resource/conservation management decisions at regional, national, or international scales.
