Oceans and the Atmospheric Carbon Content, presents an
interdisciplinary overview of the role of the oceans as a carbon
sink and its relation with pH increasing trends and climate change.
This volume discusses topics such as: climate variability during
the last deglaciation, based on a high-resolution pollen analysis;
the potential impact of CO2 from large metropolitan areas over the
adjacent coastal zones and the importance of having high resolution
atmospheric CO2 data to estimate accurately air-sea CO2 exchanges;
present- day CO2 fluxes in the coastal ocean and their potential
feedbacks under global climate change; phytoplankton community
responses to climate change with emphasis on decreasing pH trends
in sea water and its ecological effects; pH decrease and its
effects on sea-water chemistry from a ten year time-series; the
effect of acidification on metal bioaccumulation; the effects of
increasing temperatures and acidification on contaminant dynamics
and availability to biota; the prevention of potential
environmental impacts related to the geological sequestration of
CO2. The book provides an updated synthesis of current concerns
related to global change trends in the oceans with a strong
emphasis on acidification. The content draws attention to the
importance of dealing with observed global change trends and their
effects upon the oceans using an interdisciplinary approach due to
their complexity and interlinks between different areas of
knowledge.
