[Coral-List] Reminder call for abstracts - ICRS 2016/Session 32-OCEAN ACIDIFICATION: MEASURING AND SCALING IMPACTS ACROSS MULTIPLE SCALES

[Francesca]

Dear listers,

there are only few days to submit an abstract for the 13th International Coral Reef Symposium (ICRS) in Honolulu, Hawaii. 

The abstract submission deadline is:

Midnight, Central Standard Time USA / 06:00 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), on Friday, 15 January 2016. 



Anyone who plans to present at this meeting must submit by this time in order to have the abstract considered.


We would like to encourage you to submit abstracts for presentations in the session that we are organizing:



SESSION 32 - OCEAN ACIDIFICATION: MEASURING AND SCALING IMPACTS ACROSS MULTIPLE SCALES



https://www.sgmeet.com/icrs2016/sessionschedule.asp?SessionID=32



DESCRIPTION. 

Ocean warming (OW) and acidification (OA) have raised concerns about their
effects on marine organisms, particularly for those reliant on the biomineralization 

of calciumcarbonate, such as corals. OW and OA are expected to affect 

the stability of marine ecosystems in an additive or synergistic manner which is 

poorly understood because physiological responses are primarily investigated 

by manipulating one parameter at a time. Field experiments, at sites such as CO2 

vents with natural acidity, and latitudinal temperature gradients, are potentially useful 

analogues for investigating the effect of future ocean warming and acidification 

on marine organisms and ecosystems in their natural environment, concomitantly with 

controlled laboratory studies. The comparison between zooxanthellate and 

non-zooxanthellate corals suggests different susceptibility to OA and OW, and reveals

the interrelations between coral calcification and photosynthesis of the zooxanthellae. 

This session is intended to provide a summary of the main findings obtained from both

field and laboratory studies, and suggest future scenarios for the long-term effects of OA 

and OW on coral calcification and photosynthesis. A round table discussion will be dedicated 

to charting future research efforts integrating molecular through ecological approaches, 

aimed at prediction and bioremediation of Global Climate Change effects on coral reefs.
