Ocean acidification (OA), driven by rising anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2), is rapidly advancing in the Pacific Arctic Region (PAR), producing conditions newly corrosive to biologically important carbonate minerals like aragonite. Naturally short linkages across the PAR food web mean that species-specific acidification stress can be rapidly transmitted across multiple trophic levels, resulting in widespread impacts. […]
Highlights • Fitness and proteome changes were assessed in Sparus aurata exposed to global change. • S. aurata are resilient to warming requiring solely cytoskeletal and metabolic adjustments. • Acidification decreased survival, boosted energy demands and immune processes. • OWA decreased survival synergistically, boosted energy demands and impaired stress responses. • Global change could pose […]
Termination effects of large‐scale Artificial Ocean Alkalinization (AOA) have received little attention because AOA was assumed to pose low environmental risk. With the Max‐Planck‐Institute Earth System Model, we use emission‐driven AOA simulations following the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5). We find that after termination of AOA warming trends in regions of the Northern hemisphere become […]

Last time we were in touch with performer, filmmaker, and underwater “artivist” Christine Ren, we had an insightful discussion about her (then) project about ghost fishing titled Silent Killers. Now, she’s back with a new website and another evocative project centered on marine conservation. This time, she zeroes in on climate change’s lesser known evil twin, […]
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 Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) was established by the International Council for Science (ICSU) in 1957 and is a co-sponsor of the international projects IMBER and SOLAS.

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
needs of your little one.
Why people still use to read news papers when in this
technological globe everything is accessible
on web?
