• Effects of ocean acidification on marine calcifiers
• Quantify synergistic effects from other environmental variables, (e.g., temp)
• What determines the capacity of organisms to adapt to ocean acidification?
• Threshold levels (tipping points) at the organism and community level
• Societal impacts (socio-economics of ocean acidification) - e.g., effect of declining pteropodpopulations on fish stock?

Some facts about ocean acidification
• Since industrialization, pCO2 has increased from 280 to 387 ppm: decrease of ~0.1 units at a rate of ~0.0018 yr-1 (Caldeira & Wickett, 2003, 2005; Bates & Peters, 2007; Santana-Casiano et al., 2007).
• pCO2 will reach >800 ppm circa 2100: additional decrease (0.3 pH units).
• Present pCO2 is higher than experienced on Earth for the last 800,000 yrs
• Continuing pCO2 rise will lead to significant temperature increases

Chemistry of ocean acidification
Increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) in seawater causes the formation of carbonic acid (H2CO3), which causes acidification. Effects:
1. [CO2] increase ⇒ ↑ photosynthesis
2. [HCO3-] increase: CO2 + H2O ⇔ H2CO3 ⇔ H+ + HCO3
- ⇔ 2H+ + CO3
2- ⇒ ↑ calcification
3. [CO32–] decrease, and the ocean’s saturation state with respect to
CaCO3 (calcite/aragonite) (Ω):
Ω = f{[CO32–], [Ca+2]} ⇒↓ calcification

Main questions
• What is the long term adaptation to fast rate of change?
• What is the susceptibility of organisms to changes in pH?
• Can we build an ocean observation network that can accounts for biological complexity?
• Can we improve our knowledge on cell physiology and adaptation with the current experimental approaches?
• What is the effect of functional group dominance on biogeochemistry?
So far:
- Lab experiments
- Mesocosm experiments
- Field observations and monitoring - what latitudes?

Community requirements
• A coordinated regional and global network of observations, process studies, manipulative experiments and modelling.
• Identify natural variability of carbonate chemistry.
• Identify whether or not there are geochemical thresholds for ocean acidification that will lead to irreversible effects on species and ecosystems over the next few decades.
• Investigate long-term adaptation.
Strategy:- Repeat surveys of chemical and biological properties- Time-series measurements at stations and on floats & gliders
![Page 19: Ocean acidification€¦ · Regional organismal and ecosystem response to increased CO 2 from shipboard surveys Just completed 1st August 2009: On-deck mesocosm ecosystem perturbations](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050109/5f46ac956cd59369a9456fb9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Measurement Requirements for the Ocean Acidification Observational Network
• DIC, pCO2, TA and pH
• Particulate inorganic carbon (PIC), particulate organic carbon (POC) and bio-optical measurements
• Oxygen
• Other biological measurements (specific DNA sequences for marine bar-coding, physiological rates, genomics and proteomics)
• Nutrients, salinity

Time Series Measurements on Moorings, Gliders and Floats• Carbon and pH sensors on time-series moorings can resolve short space-time scale variability of the upper ocean - OceanSITES time-series.
• Some of these locations: intensified process studies: e.g. open ocean mesocosm experiments, coastal mesoscale CO2 release experiments.
• Coastal sites: effect of upwelling, riverine input - biogeochemical models that address specifically ocean acidification.
• These monitoring systems can provide verification for the models: open ocean large-scale biogeochemical models and coastal data will verify nested high resolution coastal models.
• Carbon system sensors could also be deployed on floats and gliders to resolve shorter space-time scale variability of the upper ocean.

Underway Volunteer Observing Ship Network
• Ships equipped with carbon system sensors and ancillary technologies (e.g. autonomous water samplers, nutrient analyzers) for ocean acidification should be added to the present carbon network.• These should be supported with technology to study OA (DNA sensors, PIC and POC production rates, supported by satellite measurements).

Future challenges for the next ten years
• Assess long term adaptation of functional groups.
• Improve basic knowledge of carbon physiology - adaptation to bicarbonate-rich ocean.
• Observations - coupling between biogeochemistry, physiology, and modelling.
• Building a global time series to assess changes in chemistry and biology.
• Extrapolate from experimental results to natural condition
