Adaptations to environmental changes

Chair Marco Munari:

• 14:00 – 14:50 Invited talk: Sam Dupont (University of Gothenburg, Sweden) “The order of time – Bridging chemical changes with biological response to address ocean acidification”
  Addressing and minimizing the impact of ocean acidification require an understanding of how the changes in the carbonate chemistry drives the biological responses. While significant progress has been made in each discipline from monitoring to modeling, there is still a need to improve the communication between the different fields. This presentation will focus on one of the keys allowing to bridge chemistry and biology: time. We will discuss how the dynamic of the carbonate chemistry at different temporal scales, from hours to years, is modulating the biological response and how this information can be used to project future impacts and design a biologically relevant monitoring program.
