Abstract
Ocean acidification (OA) is increasingly recognized as an additional effect of rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. To study this, a workshop, funded by the European Science Foundation EuroCLIMATE Programme and the Past Global Changes (PAGES) project, brought together a range of experts to review knowledge of the likely effects of OA on planktonic calcifying organisms and marine biogeochemistry in the upper ocean and to prioritize research for the near future.The 45 participants reviewed research on four core‐topic sessions: (1) Biocalcification mechanisms and their vulnerability to OA; (2) Genetics and physiology: Investigating organismal responses to OA; (3) Ecology and biogeography: Predicting the effects of population responses to OA; and (4) Lessons from the fossil record: Past responses to OA. Results and discussion will be published; a detailed report is available at http://www.esf.org/acidification‐workshop/venue.html and http://the‐eggs.org/articles.php?id=112.
