Carbon dioxide is a powerful greenhouse gas whose observed atmospheric increase is the central cause of climate change. The associated environmental, social and economic impacts to Australia could be staggering via coral reef degradation, loss of agricultural production, coastal erosion and extreme climate events. This work aims to better our understanding of how the oceans may mediate the effects of climate change for Australia and therefore has a strong national benefit. Quantifying the importance Australia's oceanic CO2 sink will be important for Australian policy makers within international climate negotiations and also for better management practices to ensure the future prosperity of Australia's coral reef ecosystem.

二氧化碳是一种强大的温室气体，其大气中观测到的增加是主要原因 气候变化的影响。对澳大利亚的相关环境、社会和经济影响可能是 由于珊瑚礁退化、农业生产损失、海岸侵蚀和极端气候， 事件这项工作旨在更好地了解海洋如何介导气候的影响 这对澳大利亚来说是一个巨大的改变，因此具有很大的国家利益。量化澳大利亚的重要性 在国际气候谈判中，海洋CO2汇对澳大利亚决策者很重要 也是为了更好的管理实践，以确保澳大利亚珊瑚礁的未来繁荣。 生态系统
