WAMSI 2 - Kimberley Node - Project 2.2.6 - Terrestrial-Ocean Linkages - Pawsey

This project aimed to understand how dissolved and particulate material from freshwater systems in the Kimberley are transported by the tides and currents into the coastal marine environment and whether these exports from land play a role in coastal productivity. The project linked closely with WAMSI 2 KMRP projects 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 to better understand how freshwater discharge influences marine food web structure and sustains the productivity of Kimberley inshore ecosystems. Oceanographic and biogeochemical data was collected over two field campaigns (October/November 2013 and April/May 2014) from the Walcott Inlet, Collier Bay area (16° 22.624’S 124° 26.235’E to 16° 24.487’S 124° 54.035’E) and models integrated with those for Collier Bay (KMRP Project 2.2.2).

本项目旨在探究金伯利（Kimberley）淡水系统中的溶解态物质与颗粒态物质如何经潮汐与洋流输送至近岸海洋环境，并阐明此类陆地输出物是否对海岸生产力存在促进作用。本项目与WAMSI 2 KMRP项目2.2.1及2.2.2紧密联动，以进一步明晰淡水径流如何影响海洋食物网结构，并维系金伯利近岸生态系统的生产力。研究团队于两次野外科考活动（2013年10月/11月、2014年4月/5月）中，在沃尔科特湾口、科利尔湾区域（坐标范围：16°22.624’S 124°26.235’E 至 16°24.487’S 124°54.035’E）收集了海洋学与生物地球化学数据，并结合科利尔湾相关模型（KMRP项目2.2.2）开展整合分析。
