Kurzfassung:
Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentration is causing global warming and ocean acidification. Nearly one third of the total anthropogenic CO 2 produced in the past 200 years has been taken up by the oceans. While oceanic uptake of anthropogenic CO 2 may lessen the extent of global warming, evidence suggests that effects of anthropogenic CO 2 on ocean chemistry have profound consequences for marine organisms, potentially altering ecosystem structure, food webs, and biogeochemical processes. An assemblage of 93 scientists participated in a 3‐day workshop to develop research strategies that address present and future ocean acidification impacts. The Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry program (http://www.us‐ocb.org) sponsored this workshop, with support from the U.S. National Science Foundation, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NASA, U.S. Geological Survey, and Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
