PROJECT : SAO

Scientific project

SAO

Subseasonal to interannual changes in plankton communities and carbon fluxes in the Southern Ocean with BGC-Argo Observations

Principal Investigator(s) :

Julia Uitz

Local Coordinator(s) :

Team(s) involved :

IMEV

Members :

SAO aims to investigate the response of phytoplankton blooms to changes in environmental drivers in the Southern Ocean and how this response cascades through the planktonic communities and carbon fluxes, across subseasonal to interannual timescales.
SAO receives funding from the CNRS-INSU LEFE-GMMC program, which will help optimize the selection of deployment sites for BGC-Argo profiling floats.

Sciences-Sur-Mer

As part of the Year of the Ocean, the Laboratoire d’Océanographie de Villefranche is actively participating in two major events: the One Ocean Science Congress and l’UNOC’3.
Our unit’s staff will take part in scientific discussions and associated events, and will also contribute to the “Sciences-sur-Mer” Festival (June 7–13, Villefranche-sur-Mer), which aims to strengthen the link between science and society by offering opportunities for dialogue between stakeholders and inviting both the general public and school groups to take part.
