Description: "This volume summarizes the results of three workshops organized by the PICES-GLOBEC Climate Change and Carrying Capacity Program that were held just prior to the PICES Seventh Annual Meeting in Fairbanks, Alaska, in October 1998. These workshops represent the efforts of the REX, MODEL, and MONITOR Task Teams to integrate the results of national GLOBEC and GLOBEC-like programs to arrive at a better understanding of the ways in which climate change affects North Pacific ecosystems ... The REX Workshop on "Small Pelagic Species and Climate Change" reviewed the status of national efforts on small pelagic fish and climate research ... A "Lower Trophic Level Model" Workshop was sponsored by the MODEL Task Team, in collaboration with researchers involved in the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study Program (JGOFS). The goal of this workshop was to deal with model comparison issues related to the lower trophic level and to gather information for nutrient databases ... The MONITOR Task Team is the most recently formed component of the CCCC Program. They report here on the results of their first workshop, held to outline the present monitoring activities of PICES nations and to identify future monitoring needs and intercalibration experiments that might be conducted ... Although the BASS Task Team did not hold a workshop in 1998, it was occupied with review and publication of papers from their 1997 symposium. The Task Team is now proposing to identify new BASS members to assist in the development of a long-term work plan for BASS."--Exec. Sum.
