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