Climate Change and Anthropogenic Impacts on the Mediterranean Sea – Past, Present, and Future Ecosystem Responses

Session ID#: 255170

Session Description:
The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most rapidly changing ocean basins on our planet impacted by both climate change and extensive anthropogenic pressures, which will have significant environmental and socio-economic consequences. The Mediterranean is characterized by increasing temperatures and salinity combined with decreasing nutrient availability and productivity from west to east. Moreover, it is unique in that deep water temperatures are almost 10 °C higher compared to other ocean basins. The study of the Mediterranean is essential as it serves as a natural laboratory to gain mechanistic and quantitative understanding of biogeochemical and ecosystem transitions of a future (sub)tropical ocean (covering 40% of the global ocean) affected by global warming and other anthropogenic pressures. In this session we invite research related to climate and anthropogenic change impacts on the Mediterranean Sea from the past and present as well as research predicting the response/s of ecosystems in the future.  We welcome diverse presentations from physical, chemical, geological, biogeochemical, biological and ecological, and modeling aspects of the Mediterranean Sea. We anticipate that this session will provide a comprehensive overview of the sensitivity and resilience of the Mediterranean Sea to climate and anthropogenic pressures.
