A new marine ecosystem model for the University of Victoria Earth System Climate Model
Earth System Climate Models (ESCMs) are valuable tools that can be used to gain a better understanding of the climate system, global biogeochemical cycles and how anthropogenically-driven changes may affect them. Here we describe improvements made to the marine biogeochemical ecosystem component of the University of Victoria’s ESCM (version 2.9). Major changes include corrections to the code an...
متن کاملMarine geochemical data assimilation in an efficient Earth System Model of global biogeochemical cycling
We have extended the 3-D ocean based “Grid ENabled Integrated Earth system model” (GENIE-1) to help understand the role of ocean biogeochemistry and marine sediments in the long-term (∼100 to 100 000 year) regulation of atmospheric CO2, and the importance of feedbacks between CO2 and climate. Here we describe the ocean carbon cycle, which in its first incarnation is based around a simple single...
متن کاملAn adaptive model of marine biogeochemistry in the Archaean
Here we describe ongoing work that applies adaptive modelling techniques from artificial life to open questions in Earth system science. Understanding the Earth system in terms of global chemical cycling is of critical importance for the interpretation of Earth history and the prediction of climate change. Many of the key chemical reactions that facilitate biogeochemical cycling occur during th...
متن کاملMajor challenges confronting marine biogeochemical modeling
Substantial improvements are required in the current suite of numerical models if we are to better understand the present ocean biogeochemical state and predict potential future responses to anthropogenic perturbations. At present, major impediments to marine biogeochemical modeling include the inadequate representation of multi-element cycling and community structure, large-scale physical circ...
متن کاملThe influence of the biological pump on ocean chemistry: implications for long‐term trends in marine redox chemistry, the global carbon cycle, and marine animal ecosystems
The net export of organic matter from the surface ocean and its respiration at depth create vertical gradients in nutrient and oxygen availability that play a primary role in structuring marine ecosystems. Changes in the properties of this 'biological pump' have been hypothesized to account for important shifts in marine ecosystem structure, including the Cambrian explosion. However, the influe...
