Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and d Ecosystem t Research h With the overarching goal “…to provide a comprehensive understanding of, and accurate predictive capacity for, ocean responses espo ses to acce accelerating e at g g global oba c change a ge a and d the e co consequent seque t effects on the Earth System and human society” IMBER RESEARCH FOCUS FOUR RESEARCH THEMES IMBER seeks to achieve this goal by motivating research that investigates the sensitivity of marine biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems to global change, on time scales ranging from years to decades Interactions between biogeochemical cycles and marine food webs Sensitivity of biogeochemical cycles and marine food webs to global change Feedbacks to the Earth System, e.g., how will marine i ffood d web b responses impact global change?
