Workshop on the impact of basin-scale oceanographic and climate-related processes on the dynamics of plankton and fish populations in the North Atlantic Ocean

该奖项支持在冰岛雷克雅未克举办一次国际研讨会，将研究人员和生态系统管理者聚集在一起，考虑和规划北大西洋海盆尺度生物、化学和物理海洋学数据集的分析、整合、综合和建模的下一步工作。学术价值：本次研讨会旨在为整合和综合主要海洋研究项目产生的数据奠定基础，这些项目包括美国、加拿大、英国的GLOBEC项目和欧盟资助的项目，包括TASC、ICOS和其他项目。讲习班将提供一个讨论行动计划的论坛，该计划将描述导致对控制海洋流域浮游动物和鱼类种群动态的过程以及改善渔业资源管理所需投入的新知识的步骤。一种预期是，该计划的一个关键要素将是开发能够在广泛的空间和时间尺度上阐明生态系统动态和反应的概念和数量模型。我们的目标是在北大西洋先前和正在进行的研究的基础上，整合和综合这些项目的结果，从而阐明海洋盆地尺度上浮游动物、鱼类和环境之间的联系机制。更广泛的影响：研讨会将鼓励和促进科学研究人员与生态系统/渔业管理者之间的跨大西洋交流、合作和团队建设。研讨会成果将通过研讨会会议记录的技术报告以及在GLOBEC国际通讯、IGBP通讯和EOS等网站上发表的文章分发。

This award supports an international workshop to be held in Reykjavik, Iceland to bring researchers and ecosystem managers together to consider and plan the next steps in North Atlantic ocean-basin scale analysis, integration, synthesis, and modeling of biological, chemical, and physical oceanographic data sets. Intellectual Merit: This workshop is intended to lay the foundation for the integration and synthesis of data resulting from major oceanographic research programs, including GLOBEC programs in the USA, Canada, UK, and EU-funded programs, including TASC, ICOS, and others. The workshop will provide a forum for discussion of an action plan that will describe steps leading to new knowledge of the processes controlling dynamics of ocean-basin populations of zooplankton and fish and the input needed to improve management of fisheries resources. One expectation is that a critical element in the plan will be the development of conceptual and quantitative models capable of elucidating ecosystem dynamics and responses on a broad range of space and time scales. Our goal is to build upon previous and ongoing research in the North Atlantic, integrating and synthesizing the results of these programs, thus elucidating the mechanisms that link zooplankton, fish, and the environment at ocean basin scales. Broader Impacts: The workshop will encourage and promote trans-Atlantic exchange, collaboration, and team building between scientific investigators and ecosystem/fisheries managers. The workshop results will be distributed through a technical report of the workshop proceedings, and articles published in venues such as the GLOBEC International Newsletter, the IGBP newsletter, and EOS.
