Ocean Global Change Biology Conference to be held on 6 July 2014 in USA

The first Gordon Research Conference on "Ocean global change biology" was created due to a growing awareness that our ability to predict biological responses to anthropogenic alteration of the oceanic environment demands that we address the interactive effects between distinct changing environmental factors. In the last decade our research community has primarily focused on the biological effects of changes to individual ocean properties, such as pH (ocean acidification) or temperature (sea surface warming). This GRC will bring these distinct but related research threads together by adopting a holistic approach to two pressing research questions - "How will ocean biota respond to multiple concurrent alterations of their environment?", and "How will their cumulative responses affect ocean productivity, biodiversity and biogeochemistry?".
