Ocean acidification has been identified as a top priority in oceanographic research, and is a topic of broad societal relevance because of the potential impacts on ocean ecosystems and link to increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. This award funds a workshop aimed at enhancing interaction among researchers studying the chemical, biological, and physical consequences of past carbon cycle perturbations and their effects on the oceans. The key topics to be addressed are: 1) Physico-chemical changes in the paleocean, 2) Biological consequences of ocean acidification, 3) Confidence in biogeochemical proxies, 4) Suitable time intervals and study locations, and 5) Future goals of paleocean acidification. Participants will cover a broad range of disciplines in Cenozoic paleoceanography and marine carbonate chemistry, and also include researchers with specific expertise in one or more of the focus areas of the workshop. The workshop will stimulate the integration of the geological with other aspects of NSF's newly launched Ocean Acidification program. The results of the workshop will be published in the scientific literature, and the organizers will work with science journalists to disseminate information about ocean acidification to the public.

海洋酸化已被确定为海洋学研究的重中之重，由于对海洋生态系统的潜在影响以及与大气二氧化碳水平上升的联系，海洋酸化是一个具有广泛社会意义的议题。该奖项资助了一个研讨会，旨在加强研究人员之间的互动，研究过去碳循环扰动的化学，生物和物理后果及其对海洋的影响。研究的主要议题是：1）古海洋的物理化学变化，2）海洋酸化的生物后果，3）生物地球化学指标的可信度，4）合适的时间间隔和研究地点，以及5）古海洋酸化的未来目标。与会者将涵盖新生代古海洋学和海洋碳酸盐化学的广泛学科，还包括在讲习班的一个或多个重点领域具有特定专门知识的研究人员。该研讨会将促进地质与NSF新推出的海洋酸化计划的其他方面的整合。讲习班的成果将在科学文献中发表，组织者将与科学记者合作，向公众传播有关海洋酸化的信息。
