4 IMBER at its most fundamental Interactions, Sensitivities, Feedbacks

5 IMBER SSC Julie Hall (Chair), New Zealand Dennis Hansell (Vice-Chair), USA Patrick Monfray (Vice-Chair), France Ann Bucklin, USA Jay Cullen, Canada Wilco Hazeleger, Netherlands David Hutchins, USA Arne Körtzinger, Germany Carina Lange, Chile Jack Middelburg, Netherlands Coleen Moloney, South Africa Wajih Naqvi, India Raymond Pollard, United Kingdom Hiroaki Saito, Japan Carol Turley, United Kingdom Jing Zhang, China Brest, 2006

6 IMBER Science Plan and Implementation Strategy, 2005 http://www.imber.info/

7 Theme 1 Interactions between biogeochemical cycles and marine food webs

8 Theme 1: Interactions between biogeochemical cycles and marine food webs Issues: 1.Transformation of organic matter in marine food webs 2.Transfers of matter across ocean interfaces 3.End-to-end food webs and material flows (IMBER/GLOBEC) What are the key marine biogeochemical cycles, ecosystem processes, and their interactions, that will be impacted by Global Change?

9 Theme 2 Sensitivity to Global Change

10 Theme 2: Sensitivity to Global Change Issues: 1.Impacts of climate-induced changes through physical forcing and variability 2.Effects of increasing anthropogenic CO 2 and changing pH on marine biogeochemical cycles, ecosystems and their interactions (IMBER/SOLAS: Joint Implementation plan) … What are the responses of key marine biogeochemical cycles, ecosystems and their interactions to global change?

11 …Issues: 3.Effects of changing supplies of macro- and micronutrients 4.Impacts of harvesting of marine resources on end-to- end food webs and biogeochemical cycles (IMBER/GLOBEC) Theme 2. Sensitivity to Global Change

12 Theme 3 Feedbacks to the Earth System

13 Theme 3. Feedbacks to the Earth System Issues: 1. Oceanic storage of anthropogenic CO 2 2. Ecosystem feedback on ocean physics and climate What is the role of ocean biogeochemistry and ecosystems in regulating climate?

14 Theme 4: Responses of Society Plan for Workshop to develop the issues and questions for this theme Bring together natural and social sciences communities What are the relationships between marine biogeochemical cycles, ecosystems, and the human system?

22 China 5 year funding IMBER/GLOBEC programme. Hosting the Second LME India Impact of anthropogenic perturbations on oceanographic and atmospheric processes in and around India in context of global change; SIBER workshop in October Japan IMBER-JAPAN established under the Science Council of Japan (2004-), chaired by H. Saito. North West Pacific cruise has been funded for Summer 2008. New Zealand Two funded research cruises in permanently oligotrophic regions to north west of New Zealand focused on N cycling in this region Chile Currently funded COPAS programme is a contribution to IMBER France Currently funded for three years CYBER programme "CYcles Biogéochimiques, Ecosystèmes et Ressources". (2006-2009) Netherlands Programme under development with joint IMBER /SOLAS cruise planned Germany Planning for new programme for 2007 Spain Developing a co-sponsored proposal with The Netherlands for a “Deep-water Oceanography” project. Holding a Spanish IMBER symposium in March 2007. UK Plans for IMBER contribution in new funding round 2007 USA A new “Ocean Carbon Biogeochemistry” group has been formed in 2006 IMBER National Activities
