ECOGIG GLOBAL: ECOSYSTEM IMPACTS OF FLUID AND GAS INPUTS FROM THE GEOSPHERE

The ECOGIG Global Program aims to bring together scientists in a trans-disciplinary framework to discover, examine, and understand the broad implications of fluid discharge on biological and chemical dynamics of ocean systems. Our efforts focus on five themes: Geophysical Drivers; Biological Community Structure; Regulation of Biological Activity; Geochemical Dynamics; and Ocean Connectivity and Resilience. These themes are inter-dependent to varying degrees; our goal is to bridge long-standing gaps between disciplines to promote holistic discovery. Our overall goal is to connect the disciplinary dots to identify the geophysical, climatic, and geochemical drivers that generate variations in biological populations and activity in the sediments and waters influenced by fluid discharge and to constrain the fate of discharged materials in the system.
