at 09:00 and welcomed each attending Executive member, ex-officio Michael Fasham, and the sponsors from SCOR and IGBP to Bergen, Norway. She acknowledged Fasham’s presence and his efforts and dedication in the publication of the JGOFS/IGBP book series at Springer-Verlag. She 3 thanked the IPO Staff for arranging the facilities at the Solstrand Hotel in Os (outside of Bergen). A list of participants is given Appendix 7.1. Garçon also mentioned that Ducklow and Haugan sent their regrets due to overlapping University responsibilities and research cruise, respectively. Ducklow expressed his chair message and appreciations in an open letter, given in Appendix 7.2, and requested that it be read during the cocktail hour before the evening banquet. Stokke provided extra details on the logistics around the meeting and banquet (Appendix 7.3) and called attentions to the list of Norwegian Guests (Appendix 7.4). Garçon directed the Executives’ attention to the draft Agenda (Appendix 7.5) and asked for comments or other business. The Executives approved the draft Agenda without modification. 2 Old Business 2.1 Minutes of the 18th SSC Meeting in Washington DC Hanson presented the revised minutes from the 18th SSC Meeting in Washington, D.C., USA and mentioned that only two actions remained open from the meeting (see Section 2.2): the JGOFS Core Parameters Legacy and JGOFS Historical Legacy. Garçon asked for final comments on the minutes before moving on to the remaining actions. In the minutes under Data Management, Saino recommended that Satoshi Sato replaces Takeharu Miyake on the DMTT. It was reminded that the DMTT completed its Terms of Reference in May 2003. However, Avril mentioned that DMTT members plan to continue and maintain on a voluntary basis their involvement with WDC-MARE in order to produce a DVD vol. 2 “integrated datasets” with possible additional national inputs (i.e., Japan). Therefore, the Executives unanimously approved the change in Japan’s representation on the DMTT. The Executives approved the minutes after minor corrections with their annexes. Hanson mentioned that the minutes would be posted on the homepage (as a pdf file) and later printed in limited quantity in JGOFS Report No. 39, along with the minutes from the 16th and 17th SSC meetings. 2.1.1 Remaining Action Items Core Parameter Legacy: Avril presented an updated version of the JGOFS Core Parameter Legacy and asked for discussion. The previous version of the core parameters list was discussed in Washington, D.C., USA, with the aim of providing a core parameters list representative of the JGOFS core science. The Executives recommended several minor corrections and several additions, such as parameters on radionuclide measurements, benthic measurements, bio-optical measurements, etc., including indications of methods and references to the JGOFS Science Plan. To the maximal possible extent, all methods should be documented or referenced to key papers in peer-reviewed literature. Avril agreed to prepare an updated version and send it to the SSC with some background information regarding the purpose and history of this legacy for final comments, given in Appendix 7.6. Historical Legacy: Garçon presented the topic on JGOFS Historical Legacy for discussion (Appendix 7.7), as initially suggested by Renato Quiñones in Washington, D.C., USA (see 18th SSC Minutes). JGOFS is unique in its conception and achievements, as well as in its development that coincided with a revolution in new technologies (e.g., internet, micro- 4 techniques, molecular biology, etc.). Its history should thus be written and documented, possibly in the form of a book. After a extended discussion, the Executives recommended that (1) a science historian be contacted to gather the views of a specialist in the history of oceanography on writing JGOFS history, (2) WOCE be contacted to learn from their experience in writing its history; (3) the cost of a science historian versus a student be weighed regarding time, collection of information and material, travel and hotel costs, etc., to interview scientists in various countries; and (4) funding options be explored with SCOR, IGBP, US NSF, UK Royal Society, book publishers, and even departments of history. Urban felt that SCOR would consider a small request

  • Prof Michael Fasham Collection
    National Oceanographic Library - Archive Prof Michael Fasham FRS, Collection Mike Fasham joined the National Institute of Oceanography in 1968 and, with Jim Crease, developed one of the first shipboard computer systems in the world. He also began cooperating with Martin Angel, to use multivariate statistical techniques to analyse the zoogeographic distribution of zooplankton. This was a major achievement in a field which was largely descriptive at the time, and in 1973 he joined the Marine Biology department, where he brought his strong mathematical skills to bear on a range of topics. In the late 70s and early 80s, Mike worked on the centuries old question of what produces spatial variability, or “patchiness”, in plankton, using both theoretical and observational approaches. He added an in situ fluorometer to the SeaSoar undulator to map the small-scale distribution of phytoplankton. Between 1970 and 1980, he carried out theoretical and observational studies of temporal and spatial distributions of plankton, and developed models of the ocean carbon and nitrogen cycles. He also had a strong interest in the role of the oceans in climate change. His classic paper ‘A nitrogen-based model of plankton dynamics in the oceanic mixed layer’ (1990) has been cited more than 500 times. The Fasham-Ducklow-McKelvie model, as it became known, was subsequently embedded in the first three-dimensional ecosystem model of the Atlantic developed at Princeton University. Mike Fasham became Head of the Biological Modelling Group in the George Deacon Division of the Southampton Oceanography Centre (SOC), which was established in 1995. From 1998 to 2000, he also served as chairman of the international committee of the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), which was aimed at understanding the fluxes of carbon and associated nutrients in the ocean Mike Fasham played a key role in the development of the international Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), serving on the National and International Committees and ultimately as chair of the International Committee from 1998 to 2000.

  • Understanding Roles of Microbes in Marine Pelagic Food Webs: a Brief History
    Kirchman (ed) Advances in Microbial Ecology of the Oceans Sherr and Sherr 1 of 24 April 27, 2007 revision Understanding roles of microbes in marine pelagic food webs: a brief history Evelyn and Barry Sherr Introduction “The sea harbors an extensive population of bacteria, varying greatly in numbers and in the variety of their activities.’ Waksman 1934; “…microorganisms are widely distributed in sea water and on the ocean floor, where they influence chemical, physiochemical, geological, and biological conditions.” ZoBell, 1946. Progress in understanding of microbes in ocean systems has depended both on the research focus of individual scientists, and on the development of novel approaches to study of microbes in the sea. A brief history of the study of ecological roles of microbes in the sea shows that many of the current research thrusts were of interest early on in the development of the field. Often, however, progress on specific facets of marine microbial ecology was impeded by lack of instrumentation and methods to address the problems. A great deal of what we know about marine microbes has only been discovered since the mid-1970’s. New methodology, including molecular genetics approaches and major oceanographic expeditions in the past few decades, have revolutionized our understanding of the vital roles microbes play in marine ecosystems. Every aquatic microbiologist working during the 1970’s and 1980’s has a unique perspective of the development of the field at that time. Our own perspective is influenced by our years at the University of Georgia Marine Institute on Sapelo Island, where L. R..Pomeroy and colleagues did research that led to novel concepts about the role of microbes in marine ecosystems.
