Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research (IMBER) is an international, interdisciplinary project. Its primary objective is to investigate the sensitivity of marine biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems to global change, on time scales ranging from years to decades.

Marine ecosystems are essential to life as we know it, yet the oceans are undergoing fundamental change. Humans are both a driver and a recipient of this change and it has become increasingly critical to understand, at multiple scales from the local to the global, how biogeochemical cycles, ecosystems, governments and people, might respond to these changes and threats.

The objective of this third conference in the IMBIZO series is to explore the linkages and interactions between humans and ecological and biogeochemical systems in the continental margins and open ocean in order to further our understanding of human-ocean-human interactions with respect to global change.
