Workshop on ocean modelling in support of ecosystem-based marine management

The workshop is primarily aimed at researchers and staff at Swedish government agencies and universities who:

• work with ocean modelling relevant to ecosystem-based marine management, or
• work with marine management or marine spatial planning and need decision-support information based on models.

We welcome proposals for presentations and posters showcasing examples of model development and models relevant to marine management, needs for modelling studies in support of marine management, or examples of existing collaborations between modellers and those who need and use model-based information.

We welcome work focusing on both coastal and offshore environments, as well as different trophic levels, from physical processes to fish, birds, and mammals (including humans). Examples of interesting topics may include how observations are handled for model validation, the advantages and disadvantages of data assimilation, and approaches to dealing with uncertainties.

Practical information

The workshop will run from lunch on 2 February to lunch on 3 February at Stockholm University campus Frescati.

Participation is free of charge, but participants are responsible for their own travel and accommodation expenses.

Please register and submit an abstract for a possible presentation or poster (optional) here by 30 November!
