S9: BIO Topic Session (Oct. 30, 1 day) Co-sponsored by IMBER
End-to-end food webs: Impacts of a changing ocean
Co-Convenors: George Hunt (USA), Hiroaki Saito (Japan) and Sinjae Yoo (Korea)

Invited speakers:
Chang-Keun Kang (Pusan National University, Korea)
Orio Yamamura (Hokkaido National Fisheries Research Institute, Japan)

A holistic end-to-end approach is needed to study the impacts of global change in marine food webs, including the influences on biogeochemistry and feedbacks to climate. This approach is encapsulated by the term "end-to-end food webs", which is defined as "feeding interactions, nutrient flows and feedbacks in an end-to-end food web of primary producers, consumers and decomposers." This food web approach retains the energy transfer and nutrient cycles of traditional food webs, but emphasizes the importance of understanding food web dynamics simultaneously at all levels and scales. To achieve an integrated understanding of end-to-end food web dynamics requires a merging of knowledge from many marine-related disciplines, including those concerned with global climate, marine food webs, marine ecosystems, marine biogeochemistry and biodiversity.

2008 AGU Fall Meeting
Deadline for abstract submission: 10 Sept, 2008
Further Information

OS09 Air-Sea Gas Exchange
This session seeks to bring together the gas exchange community to share findings and ideas, bolstered by new data emerging from recently completed open ocean field campaigns aimed at studying air-sea gas exchange such as: Deep Ocean Gas Exchange Experiment (DOGEE) and Southern Ocean Gas Exchange Experiment (SO GasEx). All contributions related to air-sea gas exchange are welcome, including presentations on observations, modeling, data synthesis/interpretation, and technique development.
