The Ocean Decade: A True Ecosystem Modeling Challenge

Our manuscript about modelling challenges for the Ocean Decade is out

We invite you to see our latest contribution in Frontiers of Marine Science. Here, we challenge the marine ecosystem modeling community to address how to: (i) enable ocean managers and decision-makers to use their science, (ii) communicate their science, and most importantly (iii) ensure co-design of their science to achieve sustainable development. For this, we define ecosystem models as those that span physical and human drivers of change in the full ecosystem from plankton to top predators.
