>> Global climate change is altering the structure and functioning of ecosystems, which in turn affects availability of ecological resources and benefits, interactions between ecosystems and the climate system, and could affect economic systems that depend on ecosystems. A grand challenge is to understand and project the effects of global climate variability and change on ecosystems, the goods and services they provide, the drivers and consequences of human responses to ecosystem variability and change, and ecosystem links to the climate system.
>> This colloquium will provide climate and marine ecosystem graduate students with a comprehensive introduction to issues surrounding the development of and hands-on experience with observational datasets and state-of-the-art marine ecosystem modeling approaches in the context of climate models, and the techniques of testing models verses existing datasets.
