Ocean Acidification (SIOA)
The tasks of this group are the coordination of international research efforts and synthesis activities in ocean acidification.
At its first meeting (1-3 Dec 2009 at IOC-UNESCO, Paris), the SIOA identified topics for immediate attention:
- Integration of the ocean acidification observing network with the ocean carbon network
- Promotion of international experiments
- Sharing experimental platforms
- Regular updates of the “Guide for best practices on ocean acidification reserarch and data reporting”
- Guiding principles on data sharing
- Training students and early career scientists
- Intercomparison exercises
- Promote international exchange of students and postdocs
- Promote collaboration between the natural and social sciences
