  1. U.S. GLOBECTHE VIEW FROM NOAA The Honorable Dr. Larry Robinson Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Conservation & ManagementNational Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration | NOAA

  2. Outline • Overview of NOAA mission areas and intersections with U.S. GLOBEC research themes • Influence of U.S. GLOBEC program • Importance of partnerships • Thoughts on future ocean science programs U.S. GLOBEC: The View From NOAA

  3. NOAA Mission • Science, Service, and Stewardship. • To understand and predict changes in climate, weather, oceans, and coasts, • To share that knowledge and information with others, and • To conserve and manage coastal and marine ecosystems and resources. • Next Generation Strategic Plan U.S. GLOBEC: The View From NOAA

  4. Climate Impacts • Understanding the interactions of climate with marine resources is a challenging scientific field and vital to our national interests. U.S. GLOBEC: The View From NOAA

  5. NOAA’s Regional Approach NOAA Large Marine Ecosystems NOAA Fisheries Service Field Structure NOAA Weather Service Regional Offices NOAA Regional Collaboration Teams U.S. GLOBEC: The View From NOAA

  6. Regional ecosystems: U.S. GLOBEC Northeast Pacific Northwest Atlantic Southern Ocean U.S. GLOBEC: The View From NOAA

  7. Northeast Pacific Salmon and PDO • Prior to GLOBEC, correlations identified between salmon returns and large-scale features such as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation • GLOBEC sought to understand mechanisms behind correlations U.S. GLOBEC: The View From NOAA

  8. Modeling can provide an integrative framework and lead to forecasts to be used in management EBM and Predictive Modeling • Ecosystem-based management demands an understanding of ecosystem interactions and the ability to make complex multidisciplinary science actionable for use by managers. U.S. GLOBEC: The View From NOAA

  9. Applications of GLOBEC results to NOAA priorities: Fishery Management • Incorporation into deliberations within the regional FMCs on EBM • Especially New England , North Pacific and Pacific • Predictions of salmon returns based on environmental indices U.S. GLOBEC: The View From NOAA

  10. Applications of GLOBEC results to NOAA priorities: Ocean Observations • Long-term GLOBEC observations influenced locations of IOOS regional nodes • GLOBEC models are available operationally through IOOS regional entities • E.g., Northeast Coastal Ocean Forecast System (NECOFS) • U.S. GLOBEC data management structure utilized by IOOS and other ocean science programs IOOS Regional Associations NECOFS Model Results U.S. GLOBEC: The View From NOAA

  11. Influence of U.S. GLOBEC on NOAA Research Programs • Fisheries and the Environment (FATE) • Climate Regimes and Ecosystem Productivity • Regional Ecosystem Prediction Program • Coastal and Ocean Climate Applications • Ecological Forecasting U.S. GLOBEC: The View From NOAA

  12. Influence of U.S. GLOBEC on International Programs • International GLOBEC • ICES Cod and Climate Change • PICES Climate Change and Carrying Capacity International GLOBEC countries Locations of PICES Climate Change and Carrying Capacity regional programs. Cross-Atlantic distribution of Cod U.S. GLOBEC: The View From NOAA

  13. Partnerships • NSF-NOAA • Leveraging dollars and intellectual capacity from different agencies and sectors • One-NOAA • Bringing all of NOAA’s capabilities together to address challenging issues U.S. GLOBEC: The View From NOAA

  14. Looking to the Future • NSF-NOAA Partnerships • Ocean Observing • Ocean Exploration • Ocean Acidification • Oceans and Human Health • NRC Committee on “Sustainability Linkages in the Federal Government” U.S. GLOBEC: The View From NOAA

  15. Visionary Ocean Science • What programs of today will be deemed “visionary” in 20 years? • Systems engineering approaches? • Merging of natural and social sciences? • New technologies? • Tight resources should not stop us from supporting visionary, and sometimes risky, approaches because they have the greatest potential to yield large benefits U.S. GLOBEC: The View From NOAA
