  1. Strategies for Success

  2. U.S. GLOBECGlobal Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics GOAL: Identify how a changing global climate will affect the abundance and dynamics of marine animal populations STRATEGY: Focus on processes linking climate variables -> physical processes in the ocean-> population dynamics of marine animals OUTCOME: Knowledge of the coupling between physical and biological processes that can inform assessments and predictions of the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems

  3. The GLOBEC Approach Synthesis • Process studies for mechanistic understanding at limited time periods • Field observations for longer-term ( 5-yr) context, seasonal changes • Retrospective studies for very long-term context • Technological innovations to fuel progress • Modeling to assimilate and synthesize findings • Synthesis to bring it all together Modeling Field Observations Process Studies Retrospective Analysis Technological Innovation

  4. U.S. GLOBEC Regional Study Areas • Northwest Atlantic • Density-driven retentive circulation • Northern California Current • Wind-driven seasonal upwelling • Gulf of Alaska • Wind and buoyancy-driven seasonal downwelling • Southern Ocean • Ice-dominated

  5. Target Species

  6. International Context

  7. Long-Term FundingGLOBEC Phases

  8. Partnerships • Across disciplines: • Physical and biological oceanography, fisheries scientists, ocean modelers • Across sectors: Academic and Federal • Academic scientists from >30 institutions nationwide collaborate with researchers from NMFS, OAR/ERLs and U.S. Naval Postgraduate School

  9. Partnerships • Across Federal agencies • NSF, NOAA • ONR, NASA • Across NOAA • National Ocean Service • National Marine Fisheries Service • Regional Fisheries Science Centers in NE, NW, AK, SW • Ocean & Atmosphere Research

  10. Regional Syntheses: Special Journal Issues

  11. Pan-Regional Synthesis • Integrated understanding of physical and biological processes controlling population dynamics of target organisms • Powell, Hofmann, Mountain, Runge, Costa • Evaluate how a varying climate may influence these populations • Schwing, Houde (Powell, Mountain) • Use knowledge, techniques, and technologies to improve prediction of marine systems for management purposes • Peterson, Murawski, Werner

  12. GLOBEC Legacy • Data, papers, special volumes, books • Model advances and model products • Advancing ecosystem-based management • Informing ocean observing systems • Data Management (BCO-DMO) • Cadre of graduate students trained • Haidvogel, Friedlander, Keister, Curchitser • Influencing scientific programs to follow • Hofmann, Gagosian, Koehl

  13. Multi-disciplinary, multiple approaches • Regional studies nested in global context • Focus on target species • Long-term funding commitment • Partnerships across several levels • Regional-level and pan-regional syntheses
