IMBER is a IGBP-SCOR project focussing on ocean biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems research. The goal of IMBER is “to investigate the sensitivity of marine biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems to global change, on time scales ranging from years to decades”.
To achieve this goal we need to identify key interactions between marine biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems, and assess how these interactions respond to complex natural and anthropogenic forcings.
The first IMBER IMBIZO will contribute to this goal by reviewing current knowledge and identifying key questions for future research on, End to end marine food webs, and the biogeochemistry, ecosystems and their interactions in both the mesopelagic and bathypelagic ocean.
The IMBIZO’s innovative format of three concurrent and interacting workshops with joint plenary and posters sessions will provide a forum for stimulating discussion between interdisciplinary experts and encourage the linkage between biogeochemistry and ecosystem research.
The IMBER IMBIZO will also provide an opportunity for junior and senior scientists to participate in a half-day interactive workshop entitled "BEER: The secret to a successful project".
