Latest NewsDeveloping a "best practices" guide for ocean acidification researchOn November 19-21, 2008, approximately 40 scientists from 10 countries met at IFM-GEOMAR in Kiel, Germany to establish an international agreement on best practices for ocean acidification research. The workshop was sponsored by the European Project on Ocean Acidification (EPOCA), the International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP), the US Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry Program (OCB), and the Kiel "Future Ocean" Excellence Cluster. It covered seawater carbonate chemistry, experimental design of perturbation experiments, measurements of CO2-sensitive processes and data reporting and usage. The participants agreed on the recommendations that would appear in a
guide as well as on authors and timelines for drafting each section. Recent Publications of InterestBenway, H.M. and S.C. Doney. 2008. Ocean carbon cycling and climate impacts on marine ecosystems.
