Sequestration of anthropogenic CO2 emissions by the oceans and the impacts of resulting ocean acidification and greenhouse warming upon marine ecosystems are vital to understanding the course of future environmental change. This research will improve knowledge of the biological and chemical responses in the ocean to past changes in atmospheric CO2 levels and increased ocean acidity. This will assist in predicting the consequences of different fossil fuel burning scenarios for climate and marine life, especially the future viability of organisms like corals, molluscs, and calcareous plankton that underpin key tourism and marine production systems.

海洋对人为二氧化碳排放的隔离以及导致的海洋酸化和温室变暖对海洋生态系统的影响对于理解未来环境变化的过程至关重要。这项研究将提高对海洋生物学和化学反应的了解，以使大气二氧化碳水平的过去变化和海洋酸度增加。这将有助于预测不同化石燃料燃烧场景对气候和海洋生物的后果，尤其是珊瑚，软体动物和钙质浮游生物等有机体的未来可行性，这些生存能力是主要的旅游和海洋生产系统。
