The Ocean in a High CO2 World - II: Open for Early Restration.
We are pleased to announce the opening of registration and abstract submissions for the Second Symposium on The Ocean in a High-CO2 World in Monaco on Oct. 6-9, 2008. The symposium Web site can be found at http://www.highco2world-ii.org. Space is limited, so it will be important to register early. Please contact one of us if you have any questions about the event. We look forward to a meeting that will be as interesting and productive as the first symposium in 2004! Best regards, Jim Orr (IAEA), Chair of Planning Committee (J.Orr@iaea.org); Ed Urban (SCOR) (ed.urban@scor-int.org); Maria Hood (IOC) (m.hood@unesco.org); Emily Breviere (IGBP) (emily.breviere@igbp.kva.se)

Ocean Acidification's Effects on Marine Ecosystems and Biogeochemistry - EOS meeting report
The U.S. Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry Program sponsored a scoping workshop on ocean acidification research from 9-11 October 2007. The workshop brought together 93 scientists to address present and future acidification impacts, and to reach consensus on research priorities. The group called for the development of a U.S. national program on acidification, and stressed the need for international cooperation to develop a coordinated network of observations and studies.
