Chlorophyll in the Indian Ocean (boreal winter/austral summer).
Workshop on Sustained Indian Ocean Biogeochemical and Ecological Research (3-6 October, 2006)
The SIBER Workshop will convene an international, interdisciplinary group of scientists at the National Institute of Oceanography in Goa, India to: 1) Review the state of our knowledge and scientific understanding of the biogeochemical and ecological dynamics of the Indian Ocean in relation to physical oceanographic variability; 2) Identify prominent gaps in our understanding especially as they pertain to the role of physical and ecological processes in regulating biogeochemical cycles and the carbon cycle in particular; and 3) Formulate a plan for the implementation of a biogeochemical and ecological observational and modeling research program that leverages and substantially enhances the planned CLIVAR/GOOS Indian Ocean observing system. The SIBER Workshop is designed to elicit maximum interaction among the participants. The workshop Chair is Dr. Raleigh Hood from the UMCES Horn Point Laboratory and the workshop website is being hosted by the Integration and Application Network.

The Integration & Application Network is an initiative of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.
