University of Otago, Dunedin, 7-8 February 2013.
Theme:
Southern contributions to a second decade of OA research
Our plenary speaker is Prof. Jean-Pierre Gattuso, Laboratoire d’Oceanographie de Villefranche, France (http://www.obs-vlfr.fr/~gattuso/). Prof. Gattuso led the highly successful European Project on OCean Acidification (EPOCA), co-authored the text book Ocean Acidification (Gattuso & Hansson 2011) and the Guide to Best Practices for Ocean Acidification and Best Practices (Riebesell et al. 2010).
