Atmospheric CO2, global temperature, and surface ocean acidity response to fossil carbon burning - insights from an ancient analogue

海洋对人为二氧化碳排放的封存以及由此产生的海洋酸化和温室效应对海洋生态系统的影响，对于了解未来环境变化的进程至关重要。这项研究将提高对海洋生物和化学反应的认识，以应对过去大气中二氧化碳水平的变化和海洋酸度的增加。这将有助于预测不同化石燃料燃烧情景对气候和海洋生物的影响，特别是珊瑚、软体动物和钙质浮游生物等生物的未来生存能力，这些生物支撑着关键的旅游和海洋生产系统。

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.
