Overview: National Science Foundation support will help establish a new Gordon Research Conference titled "Ocean Global Change Biology."Intellectual Merit: There is a growing awareness within the oceanographic and global environmental change communities that the various effects of a changing climate on oceanic properties will be both multi-faceted, and occur simultaneously. A growing body of evidence indicates that our ability to predict the biological responses to these dramatic alterations of the oceanic environment is contingent on understanding the interactive effects between many distinct ocean properties. In the last decade our research community has primarily focused on the biological effects of changes in individual ocean properties, particularly pH (ocean acidification) and temperature (sea surface warming). This new Gordon Research Conference will bring these distinct but related research threads together by adopting a holistic approach to two pressing research questions: 1) How will ocean biota respond to multiple fundamental and concurrent alterations of their environment? and 2) How will their cumulative responses affect ocean productivity, biodiversity and biogeochemistry?Broader Impacts: This new Gordon Research Conference will encompass disparate research communities, from experimentalists to modelers, who are all tackling aspects of biological responses to ocean global change. There is an urgent need to move beyond the current focus on just ocean acidification to address the full range of interactive anthropogenic global change effects on the marine biota, including warming, enhanced hypoxia and stratification, ice melting, changes in iron and nutrient availability, altered irradiance, and shifts in biological interactions such as competition and predation.The Ocean Global Change Biology conference will open new avenues of communication between the diverse research communities who are addressing all of these inter-related processes, in order to devise a range of approaches to more systematically and realistically tackle the full range of impacts of a changing ocean environment on the biological communities and living resources of the oceans.

概述：国家科学基金会的支持将有助于建立一个名为“海洋全球变化生物学”的新的戈登研究会议。智力优点：在海洋和全球环境变化社区中，人们对气候变化对海洋物业的各种影响的各种影响将是多方面的，并且同时发生。越来越多的证据表明，我们预测海洋环境这些急剧变化的生物学反应的能力取决于理解许多不同海洋特性之间的互动效应。在过去的十年中，我们的研究社区主要集中于单个海洋特性变化的生物学影响，尤其是pH（海洋酸化）和温度（海面变暖）。这次新的戈登研究会议将通过对两个紧迫的研究问题采用整体方法来将这些独特但相关的研究线索融合在一起：1）海洋生物群如何应对其环境的多种基本和同时改变？ 2）它们的累积反应将如何影响海洋生产率，生物多样性和生物地球化学？更广泛的影响：这次新的戈登研究会议将涵盖从实验家到建模者不同的研究社区，他们都在解决生物学反应对海洋全球变化的方面。迫切需要超越当前对海洋酸化的关注，以解决对海洋生物群体的各种交互式人类生成变化的影响，包括变暖，缺氧和分层增强，冰融化，冰融化，铁和养分可用性的变化，辐照度的变化，改变了辐射，改变了竞争和捕食的生物学变化，这些动物的发展范围是大地的互动。相互关联的过程是为了设计一种方法，以更加系统地和现实地解决了不断变化的海洋环境对海洋生物社区和生存资源的全部影响。
