The Proposal

Biological diversity and ecosystem dynamics are pivotal in life sciences, particularly within marine environments. These ecosystems are not only rich in biodiversity but also crucial in providing essential services to humanity, underscoring the importance of marine ecosystem studies. The intricate interplay of biological processes in these environments leads to a diverse range of ecosystem characteristics across various spatial and temporal scales.

The primary aim of this project is to develop a mathematical framework that allows for the analysis of oceanic phenomena across different spatial and temporal scales. Within this framework, we intend to relate the spectrum of the observed patterns to factors that appear important at each scale to their generation and maintenance. Specifically, the project will examine processes ranging from the regional to the small scale, encompassing environments where bacteria and microorganisms are predominant.
