Kick-off meeting Nice 10 – 13/06/2008 • Overarching question: • To what extent will ocean acidification alter ocean carbonate chemistry, biogeochemistry, and marine ecosystems over the next 200 years, and how will that feed back on climate change? Tools: • models: coastal-, basin- to global scale, and Earth system Appraoches: • model development: pH sensitive process descriptions (link to theme 2) • assessment of model skills: comparison to data (link to activities of theme 1); between models • sensitivity studies • model simulations: pre-industrial period + future (C-emission pathways)
Assessment & Earth System feedbacks From organisms and processes to ecosystems Future changes in ocean carbonate chemistry Biogeochemical impacts
