Description

Title: Advanced experimental approaches to marine water-column biogeochemical processes

Abstract: This presentation examines the potential uses of several novel scientific and technological developments, which are currently available or being developed, to significantly advance or supplement existing experimental approaches to study water-column biogeochemical processes (WCB-processes). After examining the complementary roles of observation, experiments and numerical models to study WCB-processes, we focus on the main experimental approaches of free-water in situ experiments, and at-sea and on-land meso‑ and macrocosms. We propose three advanced experimental approaches: free-water experiments of lengthened duration using bioArgo floats and gliders, at-sea mesocosms deployed several 100’s m below the sea-surface using new biogeochemical sensors, and 50 m-tall on-land macrocosms. These approaches could lead to significant progress in concepts related to marine WCB-processes.

Keywords: water-column biogeochemical processes, experiments, in situ fertilization, at-sea mesocosms, on-land macrocosms

Short Bio: Louis LEGENDRE is Professor emeritus at both the Pierre and Marie Curie University Paris 06, in France, and Laval University, in Canada. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Academy of Science, and of the European Academy of Sciences. He works at the Villefranche Oceanography Laboratory, in France, of which he was director from 2001 to 2010. His fields and topics of research are biological oceanography and marine biogeochemistry, numerical ecology, and philosophy of science. He has published more than 250 refereed papers and 7 full books (including Numerical Ecology, written with Professor Pierre Legendre, whose different editions have been cited more than 17,000 times). He is Honorary Doctor of the University of Liège (Belgium), Knight in the Order of Saint Charles (Principality of Monaco), and Sustaining Fellow of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO). His prizes and honours include the G. Evelyn Hutchinson Award (ASLO), the International Ecology Institute Prize, and the Québec Prize in Pure and Applied Sciences.
 

We look forward to seeing many of you at the seminar.
