Origin Story & Mission

Marine biogeochemistry needs a shared vocabulary between experimentalists and modelers for cross-disciplinary work to advance the field. Yet, to integrate disciplines successfully, researchers need to be vocal about discrepancy and uncertainty, and realize caveats of how values are determined. This community-driven collection of biogeochemical output began at the BioGeoScapes modelling workshop and the following PRiMO session at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in September 2025. To highlight cross-discipline implications like What data was particularly helpful to inform a model? or How can a model help constrain experimental parameters?, the idea arose to create a Wiki that provided a central repository for basic information related to interdisciplinary biogeochemistry science. This emerged as a way to address needs that have arisen in conversations specifically:

  • defining key terms used across disciplines
  • explain types of data generated by different methods, assumptions, and potential biases
  • describe different types of models, required data inputs, computational demand, and limitations

Content

OceanWiki is an encyclopedia of marine biogeochemistry, and consists of three components:

A dictionary with definitions from both experimentalists, observationalists, and modelers.

Types of data from experimental observations and how they are obtained, grouped by the process they investigate.

Primary Production

Photoautotrophy | Nitrogen Fixation | Phytoplankton C/N-Based Growth Rates | Chemoautotrophy

Secondary Production

Enzyme Activity | Growth Rate | Respiration

Nutrient Fluxes

Nitrogen | Phosphorous | Sulfur | Trace Metals | Biomineralization

Interactions

Grazing | Mixotrophy | Viruses | Allelopathy | Life cycles

Types of models explained grouped by the scales they function at.

Flux Balance Analysis | Proteome Allocation Models | Particle Simulation | Bio Particle Simulation

Community Flux Balance Analysis | GENOME

CMIP | MARBL | Darwin | AWESOME-OCIM | PISCES
