This grant is offered by the Oceanographic Research Department to address the urgent need for understanding the adverse impacts of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems, a key objective of national ocean policy. The grant supports fundamental research to determine the nature, extent, and effects of acidification on oceanic environments across past, present, and future timelines. Key research areas include the geochemistry and biogeochemistry of ocean acidification, its interaction with biological and physical processes at organismal and ecosystem levels, and how earth system history informs current and future oceanic changes. Funding is available through regular research proposals, Research Coordination Networks (RCNs), and EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER).

| 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 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 other interactions; andUnderstanding how the earth system history informs our understanding of the effects of ocean acidification on the present day and future ocean. Timely efforts to address these research challenges require fundamental research offered through this solicitation: (1) Regular research proposals, (2) Research Coordination Networks (RCN), and (3) EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER). |
