Dear colleagues,
This is
the first announcement and call for abstracts for the

will be heldjointly
with the /Third International Symposium on
the Effects ofClimate
Change on the World’s Oceans/ in

effects (bio-assays); (iii) paleoceanography
and proxiesof past
ocean acidification events and carbonate system;
(iv)biogeochemistry
and ecosystem modeling; and (v) physical and
