| Session Description |
The response of biological systems to physical oceanographic processes are varied and often depend on the scale of the system under investigation. This can range from global scale (eg. whale migrations), to regional scales (eg. crab migration patterns in coastal waters),to benthic-pelagic coupling, and to microscale processes (eg. phytoplankton dynamics in response to upper ocean wind stirring). This session aims to bring together cross-disciplinary researchers to present ideas and to discuss how best to characterize and quantify the physical drivers that impact biological systems and how the biology responds to the drivers. Case studies are very welcome, especially when scales are examined. |
