BIOcean5D

BIOcean5D – “Biodiversity across Space, Time and Human scales” – is a coherent assemblage of technologies, protocols, and models allowing holistic re-exploration of marine biodiversity, from viruses to mammals, from genomes to holobionts, across multiple spatial and temporal scales stretching from pre-industrial to today.

A focus is to understand pan-European biodiversity across 21 coastal countries and 35 marine labs from the Mediterranean to Arctic seas.

New data is being harmonized with existing data into an open-access data hub, leveraging international infrastructures, and generating transformative, cross-technologies/cross-scales standard marine biodiversity knowledge.

This knowledge will inform and constrain:

  1. new theories and models of marine biodiversity ecological and evolutionary dynamics and drivers, at taxonomic and functional scales,
  2. a portfolio of novel holistic indicators of marine ecosystem health,
  3. innovative methods and protocols for economic and legal valuations of marine biodiversity and services.
