Call for Abstracts: Marine-based management of atmospheric carbon dioxide and ocean acidification
Deadline: 31. July 2019
„Ocean biology, chemistry and physics play a central role in naturally controlling oceanic/atmospheric CO2[nbsp]levels. To avoid major global climate impacts and ocean acidification, reducing CO2[nbsp]emissions is no longer sufficient; CO2[nbsp]removal from the ocean/atmosphere system is now also required. This session will explore ways of restoring, enhancing, and augmenting naturally-occurring marine processes for regulating oceanic and atmospheric CO2[nbsp]and ocean acidity levels. Specific examples include, but are not limited to: Blue Carbon, macrophyte introduction, aquaculture, permaculture, nutrient enrichment, marine BECCS, enhanced weathering, alkalinity addition, enhanced upwelling/downwelling, and chemical or physical seawater CO2[nbsp]stripping, conducted at local to global scales. In addition to technical aspects, presentations on the economic, regulatory, policy, geopolitical, governance, legal and ethical implications of the preceding are also invited.“
