Second Symposium on The Ocean in a High-CO2 World
6 - 9 October 2008 / Musée Océanographique, Monaco
under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II
                                                                                                                     

The purpose of the meeting is to provide an interdisciplinary forum to assess what is known about ocean acidification and to identify priorities for future research.  The symposium will include both invited and contributed presentations (oral and posters). 

The meeting space in the Oceanography Museum in Monaco is limited, so it is very important that individuals interested in participating in the symposium register as early as possible.  If the number of registrants is greater than the space available, a selection process will be used, with some preference given to applicants who submit an abstract relevant to the meeting topics.

Use the navigation bar at the left to find the Registration page, with information about fees, etc., and a link to the form. Please note that you will not be able to submit an abstract for the symposium until after you have registered.


Convened by: 



The symposium benefits from the support of the U.S. National Science Foundation, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, the International Council for the Exploration of the Seas, the North Pacific Marine Sciences Organization, and the Musée Océanographique.
