Modelling JRT
The modelling theme is tasked with promoting world-class modelling of marine systems. Its prime objective is to create a coherent linkage from the study of marine habitats & their occupants (biodiversity & behaviour), through ecosystem function (turnover and transformations) and into the ecosystem services supplied to the human economy.
Existing work within this theme encompasses fisheries population modeling (linked to the Fisheries JRT), ecosystem modeling (linked to Physical Oceanography JRT), as well as more general interests in physiologically and spatially structured demographic models, population and individual energetics, links between population dynamics, individual behaviour and genetics, econometric and behavioural modeling and more.
