WHAT IS IMBER?

IMBeR – Integrated Marine Biosphere Research – is a large global research project which focuses on ocean sustainability in the context of global change. We want to understand past, present and future changes to the ocean. In particular, we want to know how we can achieve a sustainable ocean for the benefit of society.

IMBER STRUCTURE

The implementation of IMBeR science is facilitated by working groups established to consider specific research topics. In addition, four research programmes are a mechanism for regional implementation of IMBeR research. Regional Programmes have their own science and implementation plans and they facilitate collaboration and

communication

Research by the CLIOTOP Marine Predator Isotopes Task Team was recently published in Global Change Biology. The study compiled more than 5000 stable isotope values from 2000 to 2015 of three tuna species sampled globally. Their analyses, unprecedented in scope and spatial range, found a decline in tuna δ13C values of up to 2.5‰

IMBER STRUCTURE

Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) IMBeR’s main decision making body is its SSC. The SSC is responsible for providing scientific guidance and overseeing the development, planning and implementation of IMBeR. The committee meets annually and decides upon policy and

future research.

IMBER’S HISTORY

The project was originally known as OCEANS and was initiated by the Ocean Futures Planning Committee of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) in 2001.The intention was to identify the effects of global change on the ocean and the most important biological and chemical aspects of the ocean’s role in global

change.

OUR NEW WEBSITE

IMBER is in the process of taking on the next 10 years. After 10 years, a new science and implementation strategy is prepared, and a new logo and revision of the name is under way to reflect the new

strategy.

INTERNATIONAL PROJECT OFFICES IMBeR has two International Project Offices, one in Halifax, Canada (IPO-Canada), and one in Shanghai, China (IPO-China). The main tasks of the International Project Offices are to:

WHAT IS IMBER?

IMBeR – Integrated Marine Biosphere Research – is a large global research project which focuses on ocean sustainability in the context of global change. We want to understand past, present and future changes to the ocean. In particular, we want to know how we can achieve a sustainable ocean for the benefit of society.

IMBER STRUCTURE

The implementation of IMBeR science is facilitated by working groups established to consider specific research topics. In addition, four research programmes are a mechanism for regional implementation of IMBeR research. Regional Programmes have their own science and implementation plans and they facilitate collaboration and
