Session Description: |
| The marginal seas are dynamically coupled to neighboring oceans with complex feedbacks that modulate physical and biogeochemical processes in coastal and open-ocean regions. Energy and materials transport through marginal seas impact global climate, circulation, and the carbon cycle, and, in turn, complicate regional dynamics. These processes have drawn the increasing attention of the community in recent decades, but a mechanistic understanding remains limited. This session is jointly proposed by two multi-disciplinary projects, the CHOICE-C II (Carbon Cycle in the South China Sea: Budget, Controls and Global Implications) and MARCO (Marine Carbon Sequestration: Multiscale Regulation and Response to the Global Change). These projects aim to promulgate critical insights into the physical and biogeochemical mechanisms that regulate carbon dynamics in the South China Sea (SCS), the largest marginal sea in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. This session seeks to contrast the physical and biogeochemical processes in the SCS with other marginal seas, including, for example, the Mediterranean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Sea of Japan, and the East Siberian Arctic Shelf seas (Laptev, East Siberian and Chukchi seas). We welcome all related work in ocean margins, and comparative studies and regional and global syntheses are particularly encouraged. The themes include, but are not limited to, the following aspects: cross-scale interactive physical processes in ocean margins; (2) biogeochemical behavior of carbon, nutrients, and other biogenic elements; (3) transport and transformation of terrestrial organic carbon in the land-shelf-atmosphere system; (4) plankton community structure and the biological carbon pump; (5) molecular mechanisms regulating carbon fixation efficiency as revealed by studies of marine genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. |
