Description:
Over the past five years, no other issue has received more attention in the marine science
community than ocean acidification. Ocean acidification is a multi-disciplinary research
area that encompasses topics such as chemistry, paleontology, biology, ecology,
biogeochemistry, modeling, social sciences and economics.
With this complexity and the continued development of our understanding in mind, the
U.S. Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB; www.us-ocb.org) program, with support
from the UK Ocean Acidification Research Programme (UKOA;
http://www.oceanacidification.org.uk/), has updated and expanded a list of frequently
asked questions (FAQs) that were developed in 2010 by OCB, the European Project on
Ocean Acidification (EPOCA), and UKOA. Equipped with the most up-to-date
information, the global ocean acidification research community has drafted concise,
understandable summaries of the current knowledge. The responses were carefully vetted
during an open peer-review and revision process to ensure readability without any loss of
scientific accuracy. This effort was international in scale, with 63 scientists from 47
institutions and 12 countries contributing to the process.
