University of California, Los Angeles Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences
Modeling Seasonal Oxygen Minimum Zones
Term Amount Date Approved
43 months $538,838 Aug. 2009
Purpose
To develop open-source, evidence-based, predictive ecosystem models of the physical and biological factors that contribute to the intensity, scale, and duration of seasonal oxygen minimum zones. These predictive models will also explore how seasonal low-oxygen environments are likely to respond to future environmental change and the possible consequences for microbially mediated global biogeochemical cycles.
