| Summary: | The goal of this UC MRPI proposal is to form a multidisciplinary collaboration to study ocean acidification (OA) and its impacts on the coastal marine ecosystems of California. As the need to forecast the impacts of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems has become more urgent, it is clear that sound science and contributions to strategies will only be found through multidisciplinary collaborations within the broad marine science community. Thus, we propose a consortium to integrate and strengthen our research programs to work on critical questions about how ocean acidification will impact marine communities. In addition, we propose to focus especially on designing and implementing multidisciplinary training for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and a major part of the budget will be used for traineeship support. These efforts will position UC to compete more effectively for upcoming federal funds to study ocean acidification, and train the next generation of scientists who will contribute to ... |
