Highlights Abstract In the United States, domestic oyster aquaculture production is insufficient to meet national demand, thus creating a reliance on international oyster imports for consumption. West coast shellfish farmers are threatened by climate change, including ocean acidification as well as socioeconomic challenges such as labor availability. To expand and enhance United States oyster production, […]
Highlights Abstract Coastal and estuarine systems play an important role in the global carbon cycle and often have complex carbonate chemistry dynamics due to a multitude of biogeochemical and physical drivers. Compared to classic estuaries, mechanisms driving the distribution of carbonate parameters in low-inflow estuaries are understudied. The spatial distribution of carbonate chemistry and hydrodynamic […]
IOC/UNESCO’s efforts to advance towards the Sustainable Development Goal 14.3 “Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels’ involve its role as the custodian agency for the associated indicator 14.3.1, meaning that it is responsible for the compilation and sharing of global data on ocean acidification. Ocean […]

Coral reef lagoons are areas of complex carbon cycling, however, regional (e.g. land use) and global (e.g. climate) factors, including land runoff and ocean acidification, are adversely affecting carbonate-building coral reef systems. Coupled with this, surplus nutrients entering coastal waters can prompt excess algae growth, which can stimulate further carbon dioxide (CO2) production in the […]
The International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) was launched in 1987 to coordinate international research on global-scale and regional-scale interactions between Earth’s biological, chemical and physical processes and their interactions with human systems. IGBP’s international core projects Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research (IMBER), Surface Ocean–Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS), Past Global Changes (PAGES) and Land–Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ) study ocean acidification.

Established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1960, the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC-UNESCO) promotes international cooperation and coordinates programmes in marine research, services, observation systems, hazard mitigation, and capacity development in order to understand and effectively manage the resources of the ocean and coastal areas.

The Ocean Acidification International Coordination Center (OA-ICC) is operated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)’s Environmental Laboratories in Monaco. An advisory board, including members of the SOLAS-IMBER Ocean Acidification Working Group (SIOA WG), provides recommendations to the project. The OA-ICC works in close collaboration with the Ocean Acidification international Reference User Group (iOA-RUG), a forum for dialogue between researchers and stakeholders. Contact: IAEA-Environment Laboratories, 4a Quai Antoine 1er, MC-98000 Principality of Monaco, Tel: +377 97977272, e-mail: OAICC.Contact-Point@iaea.org.
By the end of 2015 IGBP and its projects will be merging into a new international research initiative on global sustainability, Future Earth. Future Earth is a 10-year international programme that will provide critical knowledge required for societies to face the challenges posed by global environmental change and to identify opportunities for a transition to global sustainability.

There was an event when shower chairs are only used by old people and people with
actual incapacity. Happiness is multiplied when shared, so it is with the arrival of new baby that baby showers brings friends and
relatives together offering a emotional support to the parents and celebrating the occasion with
gusto. This make take a bit of background research because you want to be
sure you are speaking with someone who is giving
expert advice customized to the specific health
