Location: meetingroom 323 of the Collegeof Marine Science

Reporter: Doctor Stuart Corney

About the reporter: Doctor Stuart Corney works as a researcher of physical andecosystem models at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) ofthe University of Tasmania and the Antarctic Climate andEcosystems Cooperative Research Center (ACE-CRC), and enjoys very highreputation in the field of Antarctic ecosystem simulation. He also serves asCo-chairman of  Integrating Climate andEcosystem Dynamics in Southern Ocean (ICED). As a project member of ACE-CRC,Doctor Corney is mainly responsible for assessing the status and trend of thehabitats, key species and ecosystem of the East Antarctic of Southern Ocean.His specific research contents cover the influence of physical habitats onecosystems and species, especially in the context of climate change.

Main viewpoints: Like many marine ecosystems inthe world, Southern Ocean isalso experiencing a series of major physical, chemical and biological changesassociated with climate change. These changes may exert a profound influence onboth the protection of some threatened and endangered marine species and thesustainable development of fishery. However, their future potential effects arestill unknown. ACE-CRC is currently establishing a quantitative framework forassessing the habitats, species and food web of SouthernOcean.

This report will give a brief introduction to the ecosystem simulation workcurrently done by ACE-CRC, aswell as related methods which can be used to promote the changes of ecosystemmodels via the physical changes of habitats. Under non-steady climateconditions, based on the ability to truthfully reflect the physical changes inecosystem models, these methods are of vital importance for understanding theinfluence of these changes on ecosystems.
