Project summary
The overall goal is to advance our understanding of the biological, ecological, biogeochemical, and societal implications of ocean acidification.
EPOCA aims to:
- document the changes in ocean chemistry and biogeography across space and time.
- determine the sensitivity of marine organisms, communities and ecosystems to ocean acidification.
- integrate results on the impact of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems in biogeochemical, sediment, and coupled ocean-climate models to better understand and predict the responses of the Earth system to ocean acidification.
- assess uncertainties, risks and thresholds ("tipping points") related to ocean acidification at scales ranging from subcellular to ecosystem and local to global.
