1.Keynote presentations:

The 2023 In-person workshop began with three 45 minute keynote presentations covering several thematic emphases of the workshop:

Introduction, William Savidge,  University of Georgia Skidaway Insitute of Oceanography, USA
<PPRESENTATION>  <SLIDES>

“Frontal eddy dynamics provide offshore nurseries for larval fish: a synthesis of four western boundary currents” Iain Suthers, University of New South Wales, Australia
<PRESENTATION>  <SLIDES>

“Sources, dynamics, and fate of marine organic matter production in the Brazilian western boundary ecological provinces” Frederico Brandini, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil
<PRESENTATION>  <SLIDES>

“Scaling of processes in the South Atlantic Bight” Dana Savidge, University of Georgia Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, USA
<PRESENTATION>  <SLIDES>

Files consist of both videos of the live presentations and the associated Powerpoint slide decks.
Abstracts of each presentation are available in the 2023 workshop program.
