BioGeoSCAPES: Deciphering Ocean Metabolism Through Interdisciplinary Science
Session ID#: 258265
Session Description:
BioGeoSCAPES aims to deliver a step change in our mechanistic understanding of how microbial biochemical reactions and processes reciprocally interact with biogeochemical cycles, particularly in the context of global change. Ocean metabolism is at the heart of this program and is defined as the biochemical processes that occur within and between individual organisms, populations, communities and ecosystems. We invite submissions that leverage interdisciplinary science (biogeochemistry (including organic and inorganic), rates, ‘omics approaches, models or combinations of these approaches) to address one of the three pillars of the BioGeoSCAPES program: 1) STATES: mapping key ocean metabolisms over space and time; 2) RATES: assessing mechanisms connecting microbial metabolisms and productivity to biogeochemical cycles; or 3) FATES: predicting interactions with environmental factors to provide risk and vulnerability assessments for key ocean metabolisms on a changing planet. We particularly encourage submissions focusing on or bridging multiple scales from cellular to community to planetary.
