Marine Ecosystems
Areas of Research
- Climatic and human impacts on ecosystems
- Physical, chemical and biological processes
Marine ecosystems around the world are suffering stress and collapse due to pollution, changing climate, acidification, and over-fishing. JISAO supports a broad spectrum of research aimed at helping to understand these ecosystems and their response to various stresses.
Research in marine ecosystems involves investigating
- links between physical, chemical and biological processes
- impacts of climate variability on the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska
- spatiotemporal distributions, dynamics and interactions of aquatic organisms
- climatic and human impacts on ecosystem dynamics
- prediction of climatic and human impacts on ecosystem dynamics
