Effects of Ocean Acidification
Effects of Ocean Acidification
Session ID#: 82019
Session Description:
Over the past century, significant changes to the chemistry of the oceans have resulted from increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide which is now over 400ppm. The ramifications of these increases, “the other CO2 problem”, have cascading effects on various biogeochemical functions and ecosystem dynamics, and thus contain numerous implications for the welfare of human populations. Presentations are invited that explore observations on the dynamics between acidifying oceans and organisms, extending to ecosystems and humans. Submissions are broadly encouraged on topics ranging from observations to modeling efforts for evaluation of future impacts.
