THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE WORLD’S OCEANS Program

This important meeting will bring together more than 600 of the world’s current and next-generation experts to share information, build understanding and advance responses to climate impacts on oceans and the many people, businesses and communities that depend on them The ECCWO Symposium series was launched in 2008 by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), the North Pacif. [...] The demand for information is high, and the opportunities to advance the science are many Please take advantage of the Symposium Workshops, Sessions and other events to network with colleagues from around the world and help advance the international science collaboration needed to address these issues We thank the Symposium organizers (ICES, PICES, IOC-UNESCO, the Food and Agriculture Organization. [...] The long-term ability of the ocean to absorb carbon and thus to modulate climate is a critical question of utmost relevance to international climate negotiations Uncertainties with respect to impacts on marine ecosystems and human society hinders the effective management of ocean resources In this session, we will explore a range of physical, biogeochemical, and sociological interactions that impa. [...] A number of key scientific and technical issues related to carbon assessments and mapping, land use driven emissions, climate change and sea level rise impacts on coastal carbon budgets and carbon monitoring remain to be discussed Here we describe recent blue carbon conservation and policy progress and the science research and tools that will be needed in the near future to support the protection.
