Scientific Calendar Event



Description
Greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are projected to cause global climate change during the 21st century, creating novel challenges for coastal and marine ecosystems. This workshop, followed by a two-day conference, is centered on current understanding of the interplay of physical and chemical factors in controlling biological production in coastal tropical waters and the impacts of climate change.
