CALL FOR ABSTRACTS:
183 Interannual Trends in Phytoplankton Dynamics in Coastal Ecosystems
Ocean Sciences Meeting: From the Watershed to the Global Ocean
Orlando, Florida, on March 2-7, 2008.
*Abstract deadline is October 2, 2007*
http://www.aslo.org/orlando2008
Session Co-chairs:
Thomas C. Malone, University of Maryland Center for Environmental
Science, t.malone@ocean.us
Paul M. DiGiacomo, NOAA/NESDIS, Paul.DiGiacomo@noaa.gov
Franciscus Colijn, GKSS (Germany), colijn@gkss.de
Liana Talaue-McManus, University of Miami/RSMAS, lmcmanus@rsmas.miami.edu
Session Description:
The frequency and time-space extent of algal blooms appear to be
increasing on interannual and global scales in response to nutrient
enrichment via terrestrial and atmospheric inputs from anthropogenic
sources. In some cases the species composition of these blooms is also
changing, perhaps in response to changing N:Si:P ratios. At the same
time, hydrographic regimes are changing, perhaps in response to global
warming, basin scale oscillation, human modifications or combinations of
all. This session invites analyses of long-term (> 10 years)
observations of phytoplankton dynamics that will allow an assessment of
the causes and consequences of interannual changes in seasonal patterns
of phytoplankton biomass and species composition in coastal ecosystem
globally. These analyses can be derived from field and/or
satellite-based measurements, noting that the SeaWiFS ocean color time
series will be over ten years long in early 2008.
