The Department of Environment is offering grants to conduct basic research on the impacts of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems. This grant aims to understand the geochemistry, biogeochemistry, and biological interactions related to ocean acidification. Research topics include the effects on organismal levels, ecosystems’ structure and function, and the connections to changes like temperature and circulation patterns. The grants support studies on the nature, extent, and long-term effects of ocean acidification, crucial for developing sustainable ocean resource practices. Researchers must address the challenges of ocean acidification and its historical context to better comprehend its present and future implications.

| Description:: | The need for understanding the potential adverse impacts of a slowly acidifying sea upon marine ecosystems is widely recognized and included as a priority objective in the new National Ocean Policy. The effects of ocean acidification could significantly affect strategies for developing practices towards the sustainability of ocean resources. Basic research concerning the nature, extent and impact of ocean acidification on oceanic environments in the past, present and future is required. Research challenges include: Understanding the geochemistry and biogeochemistry of ocean acidification; Understanding how ocean acidification interacts with biological, chemical and physical processes at the organismal level, and how such interactions impact the structure and function of ecosystems, e.g. through life histories, food webs, biogeochemical cycling, and interactions with other changes in the ocean (e.g., temperature, stratification, circulation patterns); andUnderstanding how the earth system history informs our understanding of the effects of ocean acidification on the present day and future ocean. |
