One recent example is The Land Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ) Project, a core project of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP), whose stated goals include a determination of nutrient fluxes between land and sea (with emphasis on carbon, phosphorus, and nitrogen), and an assessment of how coastal systems respond to varying terrestrial inputs of nutrients (Gordon et al., 1996 Smith, 2001). 

Since 2000, a number of SGD estimation technique intercomparison experiments have been conducted through a project sponsored by the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) and the Land-Ocean Interaction in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ)...
