Over recent decades, the combination of fossil fuel emissions, deforestation, and cement production has caused large physical and biogeochemical modifications to the world’s oceans. The oceans have warmed, and salinity distributions have altered, driving changes in stratification. In addition, biogeochemical alterations are co-occurring, including oxygen declines, changes in productivity, and increased dissolved inorganic carbon content due to uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide – which alters the pH and mineral saturation state (Ω) through a process called ocean acidification.
Over the past ten years, I have been developing a suite of tools to help marine resource managers plan, and this talk will include details about that experience with important implications for the success of these efforts in other regions.
