The abstract submission deadline is approaching for the 2nd International Symposium on Effects of Climate Change on the Worlds Oceans (December 15).
Kitack Lee and I are convening the session on "Changes in the marine
carbon cycle". We would like see as many of you there as possible.

Please circulate this to colleagues and students.

Thanks
Jim and Kitack

S10: Changes in the marine carbon cycle

Convenors:
James Christian (Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Canada)
Kitack Lee (POSTECH, Korea)

Plenary speaker:
Ben McNeil (University of New South Wales, Australia)

Invited speaker:
Dr. Masao Ishii (Meteorological Research Institute, Japan)

     The carbon cycle is the primary mechanism by which ocean processes
determine future atmospheric CO2 concentration and associated climate changes.
Ocean acidification affects all marine biota and future ocean carbon fluxes and
ocean-atmosphere CO2 exchange. This session invites all presentations on the
ocean carbon cycle, its interactions with the biogeochemical cycles of nitrogen
and other nutrient elements, and ocean acidification. Processes of interest
include ocean-atmosphere exchange, fluxes across the pycnocline, interactions
of CO2 with the carbon cycle that determine the future course of ocean
acidification and ocean CO2 concentration, and acidification impacts on biota.
