This grant from the National Oceanic Research Department is for addressing the critical issue of ocean acidification, recognized as a priority in the National Ocean Policy. Its purpose is to foster basic research essential for understanding the adverse impacts of a slowly acidifying sea on marine ecosystems and ensuring the sustainability of ocean resources. Research should cover the nature, extent, and impact of ocean acidification across past, present, and future oceanic environments. Key areas of investigation include the geochemistry and biogeochemistry of ocean acidification, its interactions with biological, chemical, and physical processes at all levels, and how Earth system history informs our understanding of its effects on current and future oceans.

| 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. |
