Jean-Pierre Gattuso, Joanie Kleypas and Richard Feely are chairing a session on
Ocean Acidification during the Fall Meeting in San Francisco (Dec -5-9,
2011). Please see the session description below and consider submitting
an abstract for this exciting session on ocean acidification.

OS13: Ocean Acidification: Past Events, Present Conditions and Future Impacts

Convener: Richard Feely, Jean-Pierre Gattuso and Joanie Kleypas

Description: The absorption of anthropogenic CO2 by the oceans has
caused changes in ocean chemistry including reduced pH and carbonate ion
availability, collectively referred to as ocean acidification (OA). The
goal of this session is to examine recent progress in OA research
spanning information from historical events over centennial to
millennial time scales, present-day observations of carbon system
dynamics and resulting biological impacts, and predictions of future
impacts on ecosystems. Papers on key gaps are encouraged, such as 1)
natural variability of coastal carbon chemistry; 2) physiological
responses of organisms; and 3) how individual species responses will
manifest at the ecosystem scale.

The deadline for abstract submission is 4 August 2011.

Best regards,

Richard, Jean-Pierre and Joanie
