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 plan)
- Effects of changing supplies of macro- and micronutrients
- Impacts of harvesting of marine ressources on end-to-end food webs
and biogeochemical cycles (IMBER/GLOBEC)
Theme 3. Feedbacks to the Earth System
- Oceanic storage of anthropogenic CO2
- Ecosystem feedback on ocean physics and climate
Theme 4: Responses of Society
Working groups
• Joint IMBER/GLOBEC End-to-End Food Web Task Team

End-To-End Food Webs: Joint IMBER/GLOBEC Task 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:
(i) why we need to tackle end-to-end food webs in our studies
(ii) what the key challenges are and how we can meet them
(iii) how we can make headway in the experimental,
observational and modeling components of the marine endto-end food webs
•
Recommendations for the creation of a end-to-end food webs
working group jointly with GLOBEC by the end of 2007
End-to-End Food Webs Cartoon
“inputs”
(e.g. light)
“outputs”
(e.g. POM)
Effects of perturbations can be
amplified and/or dampened. To
understand these dynamics
requires interdisciplinary studies
across many scales of interest
Organisms/ nutrients
Flows/ interactions
perturbation
(e.g. climate, fishing)

IMBER Report no. 1
(February 2006)
US Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB)
IMBER will interface with a US
program, with an SSC
organized by NSF in 2006
Ocean Carbon and
Biogeochemistry (OCB) will
host an AGU Town Hall
Meeting
OCB is a new multi-disciplinary
oceanographic program
Date: Thursday, 14 December.
Time: 1815h - 1915h
Location: Salons 10-12

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 IGBP’s 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-ocean–oceanmargin 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.
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.
