[ECOLOG-L] CERF 2013 Session - Drivers and Ecological Effects of Hypoxia in Coastal Upwelling Systems
I wanted to bring to your attention that at the 2013 Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation bi-annual meeting, Nov 3 - 7 in San Diego, CA, there will be a session on the Drivers and Ecological Effects of Hypoxia in Coastal Upwelling Systems. The session is organize by Lisa Levin (Scripps Institution of Oceanography), Larry Crowder (Center for Ocean Solutions) and Steven Litvin (Marine Life Observatory Programs, Hopkins Marine Station). We have organized 6 talks covering the drivers and distribution of low dissolved oxygen in coastal upwelling systems, the broad ecological and physiological consequences, and the associated management implications for coastal systems (full abstract of the session is below). We are excited to provide a forum for others from a wide variety of fields to present their findings associated with this phenomenon (oral or poster presentations). I hope you will consider participating and I ask you let students, post-docs and colleagues at your institution know about this session. you can submit an abstract directly (no invitation needed) through the CERF website and request to be in session SCI-047. Abstracts are due June 1. If you have any questions or would like to let me know that you are submitting an abstract to the session, please feel free to contact me at lit...@stanford.edu Cheers Steven Y. Litvin Research Coordinator Marine Life Observatory Program Hopkins Marine Station Stanford University Oceanview Boulevard Pacific Grove, CA 93950-3094 831-655-6241 http://mlo.stanford.edu/ SCI-047 Drivers and Ecological Effects of Hypoxia in Coastal Upwelling Systems Steve Litvin (lit...@stanford.edu) & Larry Crowder & Lisa Levin Zones of hypoxic water have spread dramatically, most associated with bays and semi-enclosed seas and land-based anthropogenic nutrient inputs. However, open coast systems such as the coastal marine ecosystems in eastern boundary currents are also increasingly experiencing oxygen depletion and hypoxia has recently been documented on the inner shelf of open coasts. Within the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME) upwelling-related oxygen depletion occurs regularly from Baja, Mexico to Washington State. This session will assess the extent, drivers, ecological consequences and management implications of hypoxia on the inner shelf of the CCLME and other eastern boundary current systems.

[ECOLOG-L] Ocean Sciences - ME016. Impacts of ecological interactions on marine ecosystem dynamics: New insights from models, theory, and field measurements
Just a few days left (September 23rd) to submit an abstract to an exciting new ecologically oriented session at the Ocean Sciences in New Orleans (Feb 2016). ME016. Impacts of ecological interactions on marine ecosystem dynamics: New insights from models, theory, and field measurements Session ID#: 9373 Session Description: Ocean ecosystems make up the largest living space on the planet. Understanding the behavior, physiology, and evolution of marine organisms in the context of their chemical and physical environments and species interactions is key advancing our understanding of community and ecosystem functioning across systems. Multiple general concepts in ecology have originated from pelagic systems, including ecological stoichiometry, trophic cascades, and the match/mismatch hypothesis. However, a fundamental hurdle in advancing our understanding of ecological processes in the ocean remains the traditional boundary between ecology and oceanography. In this session, we seek to bring together those posing questions about pelagic ocean ecosystems, bridging empirical investigations with ecological theory and process models. We welcome both theoretical and empirical research addressing ecological interactions across a range of scales and trophic levels, with particular emphasis on the integration of field sampling, ecological theory, and/or modeling aimed to reveal processes structuring ocean ecosystems.

[ECOLOG-L] Technician position in marine ecology and conservation
Technician position in marine ecology and conservation The Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University and the Mexican non profit marine conservation organization Comunidad y Biodiversidad (COBI) invite applications for a technician position. The selected candidate will work in the laboratory of Fiorenza Micheli at the Hopkins Marine Station http://www-marine.stanford.edu/HMSweb/micheli.html and will spend considerable time at Isla Natividad, off the coast of Baja California Sur, México, working on a project investigating recruitment and connectivity of marine invertebrates. The main tasks for this position are to conduct field studies of recruitment to investigate the efficacy of three fully-protected marine reserves established around Isla Natividad to replenish adjacent fishing grounds of green and pink abalone through larval dispersal http://www.cobi.org.mx/english/islanatividad.html. Field activities will involve the deployment and retrieval of recruitment collectors using scuba. Laboratory activities will include processing of collector samples and sorting of recruits (to be conducted on site, at the laboratory on Isla Natividad), and genetic analyses to determine connectivity of subpopulations, that will be conducted at the Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University. Required qualifications include: a BS or MS in marine sciences or marine ecology; extensive experience in field experiments related to larval dispersal and recruitment processes in marine populations; an interest in conducting genetic studies; and willingness to spend extended periods of time at remote field locations. Because of the setting of the field locations, and the international nature of this project, bilingual skills (Spanish and English) are preferred. All else being equal, preference will be given to candidates that would be able to start as early as October 2008. The appointment is initially for 12 months, but it could likely be extended to two years. Candidates should send a letter of interest describing their qualifications relevant to the project and past research experience, their full CVs, and arrange for two letters or recommendation to be sent to both of the following addresses (electronic submission is preferred): Application deadline is August 31, 2008. Review of applications will begin immediately after this date and continue until a suitable candidate is found.
