Shelf Sea Biogeochemistry (SSB) is a £10.5 million, six year (2011 - 2017) research programme, jointly funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). The aim of the research is to reduce the uncertainty in our understanding of nutrient and carbon cycling within the shelf seas, and of their role in global biogeochemical cycles. SSB will also provide effective policy advice and make a significant contribution to the Living with Environmental Change programme...
A holistic approach to the cycling of nutrients and carbon within UK and European shelf Sea. Understanding the biogeochemical processes and their role in wider biogeochemical cycles to significantly improve predictive marine biogeochemical and ecosystem models over a range of scales.
