1st Brazilian Ocean Acidification Research Workshop - Call for abstracts

Dear colleagues,

This is the first announcement and call for abstracts for the

*/1^stBrazilian Ocean Acidification Research Workshop/* that 

will be heldjointly with the /Third International Symposium on

the Effects ofClimate Change on the World’s Oceans/ in 

Santos, Brazil, 23^rd -27^thMarch 2015. The workshop will

occur prior to the symposium, 21^st -22^ndMarch 2015.

(coastal andopen ocean areas); (ii) response of marine organisms

to oceanacidification effects (bio-assays); (iii) paleoceanography

and proxiesof past ocean acidification events and carbonate system;

(iv)biogeochemistry and ecosystem modeling; and (v) physical and

biogeochemical processes controlling sea-air CO_2 fluxes.

Conference program, key dates and registration are available at the
