Call for abstract submissions: Southern Ocean Food Webs Session, AGU OCEANS 2020

Hi everyone,

 

I’ve been asked to spread the word about this session on Southern Ocean Food Webs at AGU, submit your abstract by 11^th sept if you’re interested, and check out the AGU website for other polar sessions.

 

Cheers

 

Anna

Re: Session on Southern Ocean food webs at AGU Ocean Sciences Meeting, 16-21 Feb 2020, San Diego, CA, USA

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

Abstract submissions to the AGU Ocean Sciences Meeting 2020 are now open. We welcome submissions to a session on Southern Ocean food webs (https://agu.confex.com/agu/osm20/prelim.cgi/Session/85228, see below for details). The deadline for submissions is 11th September 2019. 

 

 

 

 

OB007 - Complexity, Connectivity and Change in Southern Ocean Food Webs

·         

Changes in ice, ocean and ecosystem dynamics in the Southern Ocean are affecting biodiversity at all trophic levels, from plankton to whales. These reflect multiple drivers of change and the complexity and heterogeneity of ecosystems and ecological responses. Food-web processes are fundamental in maintaining the structure, functioning and resilience of ecosystems and hence in ecological responses to change. Improved understanding of Southern Ocean food webs is crucial for developing models to project the impacts of future change and informing decision making for conservation and management. An international and interdisciplinary approach is required to link studies of food webs with analyses of biogeochemical cycles and physical and chemical processes at multiple scales. This session is intended to bring together studies on emerging areas of research including the spatial and temporal variability and connectivity of food webs, food web resilience properties and biodiversity, interactions between pelagic, sea-ice or benthic food webs, importance of food-web processes in biogeochemical cycles (including carbon budgets) and combined effects of past and current harvesting and climate-related changes on individual species and their food web interactions. Presentations that report field, data syntheses and modelling studies that elucidate the structure and dynamics of Southern Ocean food webs are encouraged.

Submissions for abstracts, town halls, workshops, and auxiliary events are now being accepted for the Ocean Sciences Meeting 2020,16-21 February in San Diego, CA. Help put us on a path towards a resilient planet!   Membership in AGU, ASLO, or TOS is not required to submit.     Abstracts: Sessions span a broad array of ocean science topics, and we especially encourage you to submit an abstract to an eLightning session, which is a three-minute oral presentation paired with a digital interactive poster. View the full list of sessions.   Abstract submission deadline: 11 September SUBMIT ABSTRACT   Town Halls: Town Halls provide a valuable opportunity for government agencies, academic programs, special projects, and other focused interest groups to gather input from the broader ocean sciences community.   Town Hall submission deadline: 18 September SUBMIT TOWN HALL   Workshops: Workshops can be used to provide training on essential skills for scientists, science educators or science communicators. Previous workshops have focused on grant proposal writing, educational skill development, and public communication skills.   Workshop submission deadline: 18 September SUBMIT WORKSHOP   Events: Groups may request meeting space for committee meetings, social events, or other small group meetings and auxiliary functions.   Event space request deadline: 18 September REQUEST EVENT
