Summary
U.S. GLOBEC studies share a fundamental philosophical
and methodological framework.  We can take advantage
of this to foster synthesis and integration.  The key issues
are:
•Bridge spatial temporal scales at which GLOBEC studies are conducted to evaluate climate-scale impacts on marine ecosystems
•Apply common modeling strategies in different U.S. GLOBEC studies
•Apply comparative method across taxa and
system types to extract broader lessons from regional GLOBEC studies
