- Summary
- Ocean margins, which comprise estuaries, coastal, shelf, and shelf-edge components, are a globally critical land-ocean interface controlling the anthropogenic and terrestrial fluxes and fates of chemicals and biological production to and from the open ocean. Given the importance placed on this topic by several working groups (JGOFS and IGBP), this workshop was organized as an international forum to evaluate not only the database on the role of ocean margins in global change, but also to identify critical areas requiring urgent research. At the workshop, ocean margins were identified as globally important sedimentary traps for terrestrial trace metals, particulates, and, unlike the open ocean, a large and globally significant proportion of the organic carbon production from phytoplankton in shelf seas. The background review papers and summary group reports provide an essential focus on future marine research. This volume should be of particular interest to oceanographers, marine chemists, climate modelers, organic geochemists, and pollution chemists as well as environmental microbiologists.
