IMBER Themes and Issues
Theme 1. Interactions between Biogeochemical
Cycles and Marine Food Webs - Transformation of
organic matter in marine food webs - Transfers
of matter across ocean interfaces - End-to-end
food webs and material flows (IMBER/GLOBEC) Theme
2. Sensitivity to Global Change - Impacts of
climate-induced changes through physical forcing
and variability - Effects of increasing
anthropogenic CO2 and changing pH on marine
biogeochemical cycles, ecosystems and their
interactions (IMBER/SOLAS Joint Implementation

Team Membership Coleen Moloney (South Africa,
co-chair) Mike St John (Germany, co-chair) Ken
Denman (Canada) Dave Karl (USA) Fritz Köster
(Denmark) Svein Sundby (Norway) Rory Wilson (UK)

• Ongoing activities
• Preparation of a manuscript describing
• why we need to tackle end-to-end food webs in
  our studies
• what the key challenges are and how we can meet
  them
• how we can make headway in the experimental,
  observational and modeling components of the
  marine end-to-end food webs
• Recommendations for the creation of a end-to-end
  food webs working group jointly with GLOBEC by
  the end of 2007

IMBER Synthesis and Modeling Framework
IMBER will work with CLIVAR and GODAE to
construct integrated marine biogeochemical and
ecosystem models and to facilitate information
transfer among models. Development of Earth
System modules will be undertaken in IGBPs AIMES
project and in the WCRP IMBER will use
multi-model ensembles to deal with the inherent
uncertainties. Model hierarchy will include
diagnostic models for hindcasts and nowcasts
prognostic models for ocean forecasting spatial
coverage from global to regional coupling and/or
nesting schemes (e.g., open-oceanocean-margin
coupling and benthic-pelagic interactions)
temporal coverage from synoptic events, decadal,
to global change. By assimilating the point
measurements, hydrographic data and satellite
data into basin-scale models, observations will
be put in a basin-scale perspective leading to
improved estimates of the ocean state.
17
IMBER Synthesis and Modeling Framework

• Interconnected databases systematic data mining
  for decadal scale synchronised palaeo-proxies
  for millenial scale new observations from
  sustained observing system in cooperation with
  GOOS.
• Data assimilation into biogeochemical and
  ecosystem models.
• New mathematical and conceptual approaches to
  quantify and model biodiversity, trophic
  interactions and the impacts of global change on
  food web dynamics and human dimensions.
• A full synthesis of IMBER research will be
  critical to the overall success of the project.
  The IMBER SSC needs to play a leading role in
  this synthesis. This will require the development
  of a synthesis framework early in the project to
  enable effective interaction between the SSC, the
  IMBER working groups and national and regional
  programmes.
