The 4th Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON) International Workshop will be held in Hangzhou, China from 14 to 17 April 2019.
 
 
The 4th GOA-ON International Workshop will bring together scientists from around the world to discuss emerging aspects from the coupled effects of ocean acidification with multi-stressors, review global ocean acidification status and forecast capabilities, and explore opportunities for capacity development. We seek to better understand ocean acidification’s impacts on industry, increase coordination across nations and stakeholders, and highlight the widespread recognition of the threat of ocean acidification to the health and sustainability of marine ecosystems.
 
Topics to be covered are:
  • Ocean and coastal acidification in a multi-stressors environment
  • Observing ocean and coastal acidification and the impacts on organisms and ecosystems
  • Regional and global modelling on physical-biogeochemical coupling processes related to ocean acidification and the associated ecosystem responses
  • Shaping GOA-ON to better meet the information needs of global to local decision makers

About GOA-ON:
The Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON; www.goa-on.org) takes a collaborative international approach to document the status and progress of ocean acidification in open-ocean, coastal, and estuarine environments, to understand the drivers and impacts of ocean acidification (OA) on marine ecosystems, and to provide spatially and temporally resolved biogeochemical data necessary to optimize modeling for ocean acidification.
GOA-ON grew out of international community workshops starting in 2012 that produced a document: “Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network: Requirements and Governance Plan” as the framework for GOA-ON. After three subsequent workshops, several capacity building efforts, and outreach, the network has grown substantially. As of December 2017, its membership consists of 412 people representing 75 countries, and GOA-ON continues to expand its global footprint. The GOA-ON Requirements and Governance Plan (2nded.) lays out the vision for GOA-ON.
 
GOA-ON serves three main goals:
1.   Improve our understanding of global OA conditions:
  • Determine status and spatial / temporal patterns in carbon chemistry, assessing the generality of response to ocean acidification.
  • Document and evaluate variation in carbon chemistry to infer mechanisms (including biological) driving ocean acidification.
  • Quantify rates of change, trends, and identify areas of heightened vulnerability or resilience.
2.  Improve our understanding of ecosystem response to OA:
  • Track biological responses in concert with physical/chemical changes.
  • Quantify rates of change and identify locations and species of heightened vulnerability or resilience.
3.  Acquire and exchange data and knowledge necessary to optimize modeling for OA and its impacts:
  • Provide spatially and temporally resolved biogeochemical data for use in parameterizing and validating models

There will be two special events organized on 14 April 2019 afternoon to extend the coverage of the workshop.
Special Event 2: Ocean Carbon from Space (SatCO2): Joint Science Training Workshop
Date & Time: 14:30-17:30, 14 April 2019 (Sunday)
Venue: Zhejiang Hotel, Hangzhou, China
Convener:
