Interdisciplinary sessions
[IB1] Biogeochemical studies in the seasonally ice-covered seas
Scopes
The 8th stage Prioritized JARE Project (2010–2015) is underway. The program objective is to understand the circumstances of global warming through observations of atmospheric and aquatic CO2, thermal structures of the Antarctic atmosphere, and inland glacial movements. One of the subprograms, Responses of Antarctic Marine Ecosystems to Global Environmental Changes with Carbonate Systems (RAMEEC), is concerned with ocean acidification and possible effects on marine organisms. In this session, the conveners would like to invite many contributions regarding carbonate variability and marine organisms under acidified waters in the Southern Ocean.
Date : Tuesday 17 November
Place : 3F Seminar room #1 D305, Institute of Statistics and Mathematics
Conveners : Hiroshi Sasaki (Ishinomaki Senshu University)
