WP4: Climate Change and Ocean Acidification
WP4 main objectives:
--- Use the MACROES modelling framework to study the effects of anthropogenic
emissions (greenhouse gases, aerosols) through climate change
and ocean acidification on the marine ecosystems (incl. fish ressources)
--- A particular emphasis will be given to the identification and characterization
of the feedbacks between the different (natural) systems considered here
(climate, biogeochemical cycles, marine ecosystems)
WP4 structure:
--- 4.1 Impact of CC and OA on marine ecosystems: end-to-end
--- 4.2 Retroactions in the coupled system
-Top-down control from higher to lower trophic levels
-Biophysical coupling through heat trapping and bio-induced turbulence
--- 4.3 Impact of CC and OA on marine ecosystems: biodiversity
