The 5th International Symposium on the Ocean in a High-CO2 World, 7-10 September 2020 in Lima, Peru, is expected to attract more than 500 scientists in the field. It will maintain the traditional focus of the four previous symposia and will look at ocean acidification and the associated impacts on marine organisms, ecosystems, and biogeochemical cycles, as well as the implications for society. Ocean acidification will be considered in combination with other global changes, such as ocean warming and deoxygenation. More information on the programme can be found on the Symposium website (http://www.highco2-lima.org/).
The IAEA’s Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre (http://www.iaea.org/ocean-acidification) will support the attendance of selected participants from eligible Member States to present their work and foster international collaboration.
Deadline for nominations through competent official authorities: 6 March 2020
Selection Criteria: Grants are available for approximately 20 scientists from developing IAEA Member States who are working on ocean acidification.
