[LAMPS] From microbial processes to ocean-scale dynamics

Résumé

Marine microbes are the invisible engines driving many of the ocean's biogeochemical processes. Although individually tiny, their collective activity shapes the functioning of entire ocean systems. How can we bridge these very different scales? And how can we do so when both the underlying small-scale processes and the resulting large-scale patterns are subject to considerable uncertainty? My research explores mathematical approaches to these upscaling problems, with the treatment
of uncertainty as a central challenge. I will present two preliminary lines of investigation, both exploring possible ways of connecting scales and accounting for uncertainty across them. I look forward to your critical feedback and suggestions.
