SS10.01:
Webs and Scales
Organizer: G.-A.Paffenhofer, Skidaway Institute
of Oceanography (cmp@skio.peachnet.edu)
and C.B.Miller, Oregon State University (cmiller@oce.orst.edu)
This session is intended to honor Michael M. Mullin whose
personality and accomplishments as a researcher and teacher
are a shining example for all of us. The title reflects to
a large extent his research ideas and accomplishments. He
was among the first in marine science to link field observations
with laboratory quantifications that have enhanced our knowledge
of in situ processes. He was a staunch supporter of ASLO
from its early beginning on. For this session will ask potential
participants for presentations focusing on the following
topics:
- Pelagic food webs from microbes to fisheries
- Studies on living zooplankton - Methods, Benefits, and
Limits
- Transfer of ecological effects from the viscous regime
to transoceanic telecommunications across spatial and temporal
scales.
We are inviting/requesting presentations that include recent
results and developments within the above mentioned topics,
including the development of novel ideas. Presentations of
interdisciplinary studies are encouraged, especially empirical-modeling
interconnections. A significant part of this session will
be that after each presentation there will be a discussion
period to allow for some exchange between the speaker and
the audience. We feel that Mike Mullin would have been happy
to see that his ideas for critical, yet fair, and simultaneously
constructive communication among scientists (which we are
encouraging for our session) was a major way to enhance the
advancement of our field of science.
S10.03:
COSEE: Enhancing the broader impacts of ocean science
research
Organizers: Linda Duguay, University of Southern
California Sea Grant Program (duguay@usc.edu)
and Judith Lemus, University of Southern California Sea Grant
Program (jdlemus@usc.edu)
This session would focus on the national network of Centers
for Ocean Science Education Excellence. The main topic of
discussion would be geared toward connecting ocean scientists
with opportunities to enhance the broader impacts of their
research through education and outreach. A related topic
area would be a forum to explore how ocean scientists can
reach broader audiences and improve the public image of ocean
science research.
