Meetings Archives - Ocean Acidification

Hundreds of the world’s top ocean scientists will gather in Honolulu next month for the 13th International Coral Reef Symposium. It’s the first time the conference will be held in Hawai‘i. Leading coral experts say it’s a critical time for our reefs. Warming sea temperatures and increased ocean acidification are continuing to stress these ecosystems. […]

Deadline for applications: 19 June 2016! The term Ocean Global Change Biology encapsulates climate-change mediated shifts in a wide range of oceanic conditions, the rate and magnitude of which will likely lead to altered physiological performance and changes in ecosystem status for biota in all oceanic regions. This meeting will build on the inaugural 2014 […]

The conference will be organized around themes and “Grand Challenges” that integrate across different reservoirs, ecosystems and disciplines. The overarching goal is to elucidate how human activities, including fossil fuel emissions and land use, influence the coupled carbon-climate system. Dedicated sessions will be held in memory of Ernst Maier-Reimer and Michael Raupach. Contributions that provide […]

Date & time: Tuesday, 26 July 2016, 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Location: Schoodic Institute at Acadia National Park, 9 Atterbury Circle, Winter Harbor, Maine Description: Talk on Socioeconomic Vulnerability to OA in the U.S. at Moore Auditorium on Schoodic Institute campus. Given by Katharine (Trina) Wellman, an Associate of Northern Economics based in Seattle, […]

Deadline for abstract submission: 3 August 2016! Session description Ocean biogeochemistry-ecosystem models are powerful tools to study biogeochemical cycling, ocean carbon uptake and transport, and the impacts of environmental change on marine ecosystems through multiple stressors including warming, hypoxia, acidification and other factors. Such models are now widely used in both global earth system and […]

Deadline for abstract submission: 3 August 2016! Session description Upwelling systems concentrate marine resources and productivity, sustain marine biodiversity and support dependent human communities. Upwelling systems are attractors to highly migratory species, they respond to shifting environmental drivers that result from climate change, resulting in warming temperatures, increased stratification, lower oxygen and pH levels, and […]

Following the adoption of the United Nations Agenda 2030, together with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals for the planet, the IOC Sub-Commission for the Western Pacific (WESTPAC) is pleased to invite you to the 10th WESTPAC International Scientific Conference entitled “Advancing Ocean Knowledge, Fostering Sustainable Development: from the Indo-Pacific to the Globe” in Qingdao, China, […]

The Port Townsend Marine Science Center hosts “Oceanography on the Dock,” a field course that focuses on ocean acidification, set for 2-3 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 12. Ocean acidification is a change in the ocean’s chemistry caused by its absorption of carbon dioxide, which is released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels such as coal […]

Deadline for abstract submission: 28 September 2016! To encourage the participation of young scientists in international scientific investigations and to promote their involvement in the management and stewardship of the marine environment, the North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES) and the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) are co-organizing a conference for […]

On June 17 at the Vancouver Hilton in Vancouver, the 2016 Science to Policy Summit sponsored by the Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership, scientists and policy makers talked about climate change and how it could affect the lower Columbia River. “It’s not that it’s changing,” Jan Newton, the Senior Principal Oceanographer for the University of Washington […]

Registration deadline: 31 October 2016! Coastal areas are increasingly vulnerable to climate change (i.e. warming and ocean acidification and hypoxia). Globally this issue has become one of the most serious socio-economic concerns because majority of coasts will soon become unsuitable for shellfish farming. This is a stark warning to Asia, which is not only a […]

The 3rd JAMBIO International Symposium, organized by JAMBIO (Japanese Association of Marine Biology) in collaboration with the Tsukuba Global Science Week and the International Educational and Research Laboratory Program, (University of Tsukuba), will bring together researchers from around the world to discuss what approaches are essential to cope with the threat posed by the global […]

Abstract submission deadline: 14 October 2016! This session welcomes research focused on the challenges of variability and uncertainty associated with scaling OA mitigation to implementation. This session will also consider key lessons learned, best practices, and guidelines for future intervention research and practice. Session rationale: Recent research has illuminated the biological impacts, geochemical drivers, and […]

In September 2016, the biggest cruise ship to ever make the Northwest Passage through the Arctic reached New York safely after 32 days, millions of dollars in preparations, and a huge sigh of relief from all who worried that any accident would cause even more irreparable harm than the passage itself through that vulnerable landscape. […]

46 Scientists from the region gathered again in Phuket, Thailand, 29－31 August 2016, stepping up their efforts to develop a long term program monitoring the ecological impacts of ocean acidification on coral reef ecosystems for the region. The three-day WESTPAC event is a follow-up to previous two workshops in 2015, with the aim to review […]

The first in-person meeting of the Biology Working Group of the Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON) took place from 10-11 October 2016 at the IAEA Environment Laboratories in Monaco, hosted by the OA-ICC. The meeting brought together 14 participants from 9 countries and was led by the co-chairs of the Working Group, Mr Sam […]

Blue Planet is an Initiative of the Group of Earth Observations (GEO). GEO aims to address global challenges and improve decision making by coordinating and developing the Earth observation efforts among participating governments and organizations. The 3rd Blue Planet Symposium will serve as a forum for discussion of societal information needs resulting from the important […]

Deadline for abstract submission: 15 January 2017! This workshop will be held on the 11th of June 2017 as part of the ESSAS Open Science Meeting on Subarctic and Arctic Science, in Tromsø, Norway (11-15th of June 2017). The workshop will investigate the effects of climate change and ocean acidification in Subarctic and Arctic ecosystems […]

Coastal areas are increasingly vulnerable to climate change (i.e. warming and ocean acidification and hypoxia). Globally this issue has become one of the most serious socio-economic concerns because majority of coasts will soon become unsuitable for shellfish farming. This is a stark warning to Asia, which is not only a center of marine biodiversity but […]
