Palter2, Greg de Souza1, and Carolina Dufour1 1Program in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA 2Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, McGill University, Quebec, Canada Abstract Sediment traps suggest that about one-third of the particulate organic matter flux at 200 m continues past the base of the main thermocline. If nutrients lost by this particle sinking were not replaced, thermocline nutrients would be depleted within 50 years. How do these nutrients return from the deep ocean back to the thermocline and thence to the surface? In this presentation, I will provide an overview of recent descriptive and modeling studies of the large scale meridional overturning circulation and eddy mixing processes that bring the nutrients up from the abyss and transport them into the surface regions where they are again available to fuel the biological pump. 7 Invited talks Earth System Models and Upwelling Systems: Advances and Imple- mentation in the Study of the California Current Ecosystem Francisco Werner1 and Enrique Curchitser2 1Southwest Fisheries Science Center, NOAA, La Jolla, CA, USA 2Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, USA Abstract Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS, such as the California Current, the Peru-Humboldt, the Benguela and the Canary Current) are highly productive and are subject to physical forcing at short scales (e.g., local winds and topography on scales of kms and weeks), remotely forced intermediate scales such as El Nino˜ , interdecadal basin scales such as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (the PDO), and secular cli- mate change. To properly capture the physical response of EBUS requires that the atmospheric, land and ocean components be dynamically coupled. Similarly, the biological component requires that bottom-up drivers (such as lower trophic biogeochemical processes) and top-down drivers (such as harvesting by fishing fleets) be included simultaneously. The explicit inclusion of these processes requires an Earth System Modeling formulation, which will be described in this presentation using the California Current Ecosystem as a case study. 8 Wednesday, June 11th Invited talks La investigacion´ del mar en Espana:˜ reflexiones desde Finis Terrae. Emilio Fernandez´ Gestor del Plan Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnolog´ıa Marina. Secretar´ıa de Estado de Investigacion,´ Desarrollo e Innovacion.´ Abstract Las ciencias y tecnolog´ıas marinas espanolas˜ han experimentado un notable desarrollo y una profunda transformacion´ en las ultimas´ dos decadas.´ Este cambio profundo se evidencia en el numero´ y nivel de excelencia de nuestros investigadores, en la calidad de los productos que de ellos emanan y en la mod- ernizacion´ de las infraestructuras de investigacion.´ Sin embargo, a pesar de este significativo avance, nuestro sistema de I+D todav´ıa presenta debilidades estructurales y barreras institucionales que dificul- tan su desarrollo, limitan su proyeccion´ internacional y, en definitiva, restan energ´ıa para afrontar los retos que debemos afrontar en los proximos´ anos.˜ En la presentacion,´ se aportaran´ datos y reflexiones personales sobre el marco estrategico´ en el que se inserta la investigacion´ de los oceanos´ tanto en Europa como en Espana,˜ sobre los instrumentos de financiacion´ y sobre el papel de las infraestructuras singulares de investigacion,´ entre otros. Finalmente, y con el animo´ de suscitar el debate en la comunidad investi- gadora, docente y en los alumnos, compartire´ algunas ideas y propuestas en tres ambitos´ particularmente sensibles: la arquitectura institucional de nuestro sistema de I+D marino, la organizacion,´ visibilidad e impacto social de los profesionales que estudian el mar y la planificacion,´ con vision´ estrategica,´ del proceso de formacion´ de las nuevas generaciones de oceanografos.´ Wednesday, June 11th 9 Invited talks B-vitamins: Past, present and future in the study of the coenzymes that built and maintain a habitable planet Sergio Sanudo-Wilhelmy,˜ Danielle Monteverde and Laura Gomez-Consarnau Department of Biological Sciences and Department of Earth Sciences. University of Southern California. Los Angeles, California, 90089-0371, USA Abstract The B-vitamins (thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pyridoxine (B6) biotin (B7) and cobalamin (B12)) are organic molecules, similar to micronutrients in that they are required in trace amounts by all cells, although the requirement for a specific vitamin varies across organisms. Despite the fact that B- vitamins are the most frequently required growth factors by marine microorganisms, their concentrations as well as the processes controlling their distributions in the ocean are still unknown.
