FP7 Cooperation Work Programme 2010: Environment
Area 6.1.1.5 Climate change natural and socio-economic impacts
ENV.2010.1.1.5-1 Impact of ocean acidification in the Mediterranean in a changing climate
The Mediterranean Sea due to its enclosed geographical situation is especially vulnerable to climate change. The research will study the effects of ocean acidification, considering different climate change scenarios on the ecosystem structure/functioning of the Mediterranean Sea. The project should identify the most vulnerable elements of the ecosystem and map the regions which will be most affected by ocean acidification. The research will study the socio-economic implication of ocean acidification and will identify possible adaptation measures. International cooperation is encouraged.
Funding scheme: Collaborative Project (small or medium-scale focused research project)
Expected impact: Quantify the impacts of ocean acidification in the Mediterranean Sea and its socio-economic implications, considering climate change scenarios.
