Dear Colleagues,

Due to extensive requests from authors and conveners who are just returning today from holidays, we have extended by ONE DAY the ABSTRACT DEADLINE for submission of abstracts to the European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2011 (EGU2011).

The extended deadline for the EGU2011 is Tuesday, 11 January 2011 (24:00, GMT).

The EGU2011 will be held in Vienna, Austria, from 03-08 April 2011 and has over 720 unique Sessions in 28 Programme Groups, covering broadly all aspects of the geosciences, planetary and space sciences.

Within each programme group, you will find the name of each session, description, as well as conveners at:http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2011/sessionprogramme.

OS3.1 SOLAS/IMBER Special session. Sensitivity of marine ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles to global change.

Achieving a quantitative understanding of the key biogeochemical-physical interactions and feedbacks between the ocean and the atmosphere and how marine biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems interact is a prerequisite to understand how this coupled system affects and is affected by climate and environmental change. Indeed attempts to predict the future global environment depend on a comprehensive understanding of how plankton biodiversity and biogeochemical cycling in the oceans affect the climate system, and of how changes in climate influence the structure and functional properties of oceanic ecosystems. This session calls for contributions related to experimental work at sea or in the laboratory, remote sensing studies, and modelling studies on the responses of key marine biogeochemical cycles, ecosystems and their interactions, to global change. Contributions dealing with exchange processes at the air-sea interface are also welcome.
