Biophysical and Socioeconomic Assessments: The LOICZ* Approach Liana Talaue-McManus Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science University of Miami LOICZ Nutrient Budget & Typology Teams *Land-Ocean Interaction in the Coastal Zone
2
Objectives LOICZ framework in assessing the role of the global coast in material (carbon, nutrients, freshwater) delivery and cycling. A resource in identifying/ formulating indicators for themes on coastal water quality and eutrophication Scale: –Local: catchments and associated estuarine areas –Regional and global carbon assessments
3
Outline Goals of LOICZ as a Core Project of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) Biophysical approaches Socio-economic approaches Future directions
4
mass balances of C, N and P interphase with integrated coastal management land use, climate, sea level on material fluxes and coastal morphodynamics anthropogenic influence trace gas emissions source/ sink for Carbon dioxide

LOICZ Typology Database 0.5 degree grid 47,057 cells (out of 259,200 total for earth’s surface) make up primary typology cells –Coastal (with shoreline; NOAA 1999) –Stream network (U. New Hampshire 1999) –Grid cell composition: Coastal (15,278 cells) + terrestrial (immed. Landward) (12,449 cells) + oceanic (immed. Seaward) (19,330 cells)
