Through
collaborations with Drs. John Woods and Silvana Vallerga at Imperial
College London we have
begun to use the Virtual Ecology Workbench (VEW) modeling software to
explore
the complex topic of ecological oceanography in marine ecosystems. The
VEW is a lagrangian ensemble, individual particle based model platform
that allows the researcher
to define both standard physiological equations as well as 'beharioral'
equations. The emergent properties of this model are the life
histories of individual agents within the plankton. This line of
research at first might seem at odds with the strong experimental and
field
nature of the group's other research, but in fact it is a perfect
complement. This work is very
recent and in fact I'll be at the first Virtual Ecology workshop in
July 2006, and we are planning a second workshop in Bermuda in early
2007.
Please keep visiting this site as our research expertise in
this area grows.
