|
a) The interconnection between ocean acidification with oceanic biology, chemistry, physics, and geology
b) The consequences of ocean acidification on ecosystem health and function
c) The interpretation of the geologic record to hopefully reveal the history of climate change and the groups of organisms that have risen, persisted, or declined, upon the timely evolution of each earth system.
