2004 Symposium on the Ocean in a High-CO2 World

The First Symposium on the Ocean in a High-CO2 World was held in Paris on 10-12 May 2004, sponsored by the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC).The symposium addressed the biological and biogeochemical consequences of increasing atmospheric and oceanic CO2 levels, and possible strategies for mitigating such increases.

Papers from the meeting were published in a special issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans in 2005.
