New OCB Sediment Biogeochemistry Model Intercomparison Project (SedMIP) Working Group seeking input
Do you use and/or build benthic models? With the goal of designing a MIP for benthic models, OCB’s SedMIP WG is conducting an inventory of existing benthic models and would benefit from your feedback on model applications, components, and inputs/outputs to inform our planning process. Please take a few moments to share your input.
Two papers published by the OCB Benthic Ecosystem & Carbon Synthesis (BECS) WG
