The EcoOcean modelling complex has now an official home at ecopathinternational.org
/in Projects /by AdministratorEcoOcean is a spatially and temporally explicit mechanistic marine ecosystem modelling (MEM) complex of the global ocean, that unifies the consideration of spatial-temporal food-web dynamics ranging from primary producers to top predators with the impacts of environmental change and worldwide fisheries. In collaboration with UBC-IOF (Canada), CSIC-ICM (Spain) and MountainSoft (Canada) we have been pushing […]
The Ocean Decade: A True Ecosystem Modeling Challenge
