Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oceanic warming, acidification and deoxygenation are beginning to change the ocean environment in ways that are going to impact the ability of the oceans to support the many services on which society depends, e.g., transportation, food and recreation, to name but a few. It is critical that these changes be well documented and understood. How do they vary regionally and temporally? What are the correlations between them and with important forcing factors, both natural and anthropogenic? How can this information best be presented in ways that will be useful to policy makers and managers?
This Special Issue, "Ocean warming, acidification and deoxygenation", will call for submissions of papers that present the trends, share new ways of collecting the data and presenting the information in useful formats, expose the information gaps and suggest ways of addressing those gaps. Studies analyzing data from hydrographic surveys, moorings, drifters, remote sensing, monitoring networks, and field experiments are equally welcome. Modelling studies looking at the impacts of warming, acidification and deoxygenation are also suitable. Review articles are also welcome.
Prof. Dr. Chris Langdon
Guest Editor
