International Conference on Ocean Carbon Cycling and Climate Change

This session will explore the fundamental processes governing ocean carbon cycling, including the roles of physical and biological factors. Emphasis will be placed on the interactions between carbon fluxes and oceanic conditions.

This track will investigate how climate change affects marine ecosystems, focusing on shifts in species distribution and ecosystem dynamics. Presentations will highlight the implications for carbon sequestration and biogeochemical cycles.

This session will delve into the mechanisms and effectiveness of carbon sequestration in coastal ecosystems, such as mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses. Discussions will include the role of these habitats in mitigating climate change.

This track will focus on the processes governing the exchange of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases between the ocean and atmosphere. Research on the implications of these exchanges for climate models will be highlighted.

This session will examine the alterations in biogeochemical cycles due to anthropogenic impacts and climate change. Studies presented will address nutrient cycling and its effects on ocean health and carbon dynamics.

This track will investigate the impacts of ocean acidification on marine organisms and ecosystems, emphasizing the physiological and ecological consequences. Research will include adaptive responses and potential mitigation strategies.

This session will explore the relationship between primary production in marine environments and carbon fluxes. Presentations will focus on how changes in productivity influence carbon cycling and storage.

This track will address the role of sediments in the ocean carbon cycle, including carbon storage and release mechanisms. Research will highlight the significance of sedimentary processes in global carbon budgets.

This session will focus on the development and application of models to assess carbon budgets in various marine systems. Discussions will include the challenges and advancements in modeling approaches.

This track will investigate the sources and magnitudes of greenhouse gas emissions from marine environments. Research will cover both natural and anthropogenic contributions to oceanic emissions.

This session will explore the feedback mechanisms between marine ecosystems and carbon cycling. Presentations will focus on how changes in ecosystem health can influence carbon dynamics and climate resilience.
