Ocean Acidification

Understanding the impacts of ocean acidification (OA) requires a multidisciplinary approach across multiple temporal/spatial scales to study how ecosystems respond to changing ocean chemistry. We seek abstracts for OA research and data syntheses that connect past, present, and future ocean chemical changes to impacts on marine ecosystems using data from laboratory/field experiments lasting 1 month, coastal/ocean monitoring programs using various sensors/platforms, models, and rely on information stewardship. Federal agencies are collaborating to improve access and discovery of quality controlled OA data. We hope that this session will reveal how PIs integrate information and where effort must be expended to improve the process.
