                 In collaboration with web designer Colleen  Boisvert | 
  | 
 | 
                 ECCO has launched a new overall project web  site. | 
  | 
 | 
                 Main purpose of this site is to provide an  integrated view | 
  | 
 | 
                 of ECCO and it's follow-on projects | 
  | 
 | 
                 (ECCO-GODAE, ECCO2, GECCO, ...). | 
  | 
 | 
                 It is hoped that readers will get a clear  understanding | 
  | 
 | 
                 of  | 
  | 
 | 
                 ECCO's various activities, and will find | 
  | 
 | 
                 among ECCO's various ocean state estimation  products  | 
  | 
 | 
                 those which best suit their needs. |

  | 
 | 
               <p>                Scientists at MIT have developed a new  marine ecosystem model that allows its populations of  | 
  | 
 | 
                 phytoplankton to  realistically evolve, reflecting the diversity in populations in the natural  world. This  | 
  | 
 | 
                 should lead to a better understanding of the coupling between ocean  and atmospheric chemistry.  | 
  | 
 | 
                 The model makes use of ECCO's ocean state estimate  to capture the physical environment in  | 
  | 
 | 
                 which the ecosystem evolves. The study  "Emergent Biogeography of Microbial Communities in a  | 
  | 
 | 
                 Model Ocean"   by  Michael J. Follows, Stephanie Dutkiewicz, Scott Grant, and Sallie W. Chisholm  was published in today's issue of <a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/315/5820/1843" target="_blank">Science magazine</a>.
